cheapest touch screen dvd player i think the best way for me to get a ton of songs in my car is to get a dvd player and play mp3 dvd's so i was thinking about getting one of those touch screens so i could search for the songs easy. what would be the cheapest place to get one of these? and if you have one how do you like it?
thanks a lot

honestly, the best and cheapest way for MASS music, would simply be an IPOD adapter for your factory radio. Youll be able to go through folders like they were discs and go through the different tracks on ur factory deck as long as u dont have a cd changer already. The shitty thing is that ull have numbers and not names of teh songs.......... but starting about 300$ for an ipod and adapter....... its not too bad........ other than that, a "DECENT" touch screen dvd player will run u about 1k$ and up.

I have a Jensen 7" flipout DVD/VCD player. Plays everything I've stuck in it except WMV files. Awesome quality. It will play MP3 DVDs, but I would stick with MP3 CDs. It takes more time to load the DVD versus a CD cause of it's size. My old screen also took longer to load MP3 DVDs versus MP3 CDs, so I know it's not the deck.

I've got a Kenwood DDX-7015 (double din touch screen) right now that plays mp3's from DVDs. If you have your dvd arranged into folders you can easily select through your folders to find the songs you want to play. It also display all of the information you have for the song. If you properly "label" your music (artist, album, song title, etc) it will show it on the display.
I'm actually thinking of selling mine. It's only about 9 months old. I think I'm gonna go the CarPC route, but need to sell this first for the money. PM me if you're interested.
A couple of guys locally have seen the double din in my car, and they've commented on how good it looks. I can take some pictures if you'd like.

I personally wouldn’t go cheap. Why buy it twice? Save your money and get a pioneer or one of the upper brands. This is the source for your sound. It also has moving parts which raises your chances of it breaking.

Very interested in a setup like this!
If it's a flat screen I'd like to see some pics of it installed.

I've seen it in person and damn does it look beautiful wish I could afford one but my car is too slow right now so I need mod money
I'll get some pics up today or tomorrow. It is a double din reciever. Not the flip out kind, it's a stationary 6.5" touchscreen.
I'd like to see some pics of the double din. How hard was it to fit in your 1.5 din opening? What all did you have to cut? I may be interested as well!
My Camaro has a much larger dash opening being that HVAC vents are integrated into the radio bezel, as are the ASR and Fog switches.
However, you'll see from the pictures that I only needed to make the stock opening about 1/4" bigger from top to bottom. You will also need to fill in the sides as there will be about a 3/4" gap on either side of the HU.
This is where I should have spent more time sanding. It would be much easier to blend this in on a T/A since the bezel is relatively flat compared to the compound curves of the Camaro bezel.
After gaining some experience in modifying the stock bezel, I want to try the CarPC thing.

TFT displays are not very good for watching movies, and it has no am/fm tuner. Might not even have CD player capability. I'd watch out for the cheapies like this one.
