Want to start on a new mini project...

Want to start on a new mini project...

I want to convert that little storage area on a 8th gen rolla below the temperature/ac/fan control into half of what it is.

I read somewhere before that the storage area or at least half of it was used for a cd changer control area. Well supposedly thats an extra 2 dins that i can use....

So i want to buy a slide out dvd player/screen and pop it into there and still have a mini storage area below it

So anyone got advice on how to do this? I guess it would be like buying a dash kit like that converts 2 din into 1 type of thing

That thing is a double din. My cousin has the exact corolla as me with a factory single cd player down there. Below it is a pocket type thing. It is possible to do it and all you would need is one of those pocket things from circuit city or maybe even find a cheap one at walmart. A friend of mine got his for like $5 at walmart for his expedition.

ooooo so the cd button the stock headunit controls the cd player thats below the a/c controls?

Put a CarPC in there Use a EPIA M1000 Main board and build your own double din case.

ya thanks dude i was looking for something like that. All i need is a case and a weak powersupply and this thing is perfect for a car. I'll start looking into it

ok i'll probably go for a VIA EPIA CN13000, it has everything built in, so all i need is
ram
hard drive
dvd drive
case
foldable keyboard
touchscreen lcd
and jsut for kicks later on a usb wireless card to leach of people's internet and my campus at college has wireless internet so i'll be good to go
power converter


or

i can just buy a laptop lol...this is insane

That what I have down there too. I have an EPIA M1000 with a M2-ATX power supply. All the need is the touch screen which I will be getting soon and to fit the screen down there.

Yes that is what the CD button on the player is for. You can either have a single cd player down there or a three disc changer. Ive even heard of six disc changers but Ive never seen one in person. Either way good luck with whichever way you go.

see my sig

It's fiberglassed... as far as I know, there's no 2-DIN pocket for 9th Gen yet

^^Hes got an 8th gen where the stock unit is just a single din. Newer cars including the 9th gen have the stock units built into the dash so it makes aftermarket stuff alot harder to install.

on my moms 05 rolla it has 2 pockets below the controls which i think can be modified with a kit to hold a 7 inch screen
