The DVD/CD/FM player that came with my 2010 176 still works but the display is more or less fried and it has some other issues. I don't want to spend a fortune, but I'd like to replace this thing. It's the wall mounted dvd player, not the one than hangs from the ceiling. Any recommendations? TT |

Well, shoot. I'd let you have ours really cheap, but it is out of a 177 and hangs from the ceiling. I would check ebay if I were you. You are bound to find something there. ------------- Eric and Donna 2012 177HRE 2012 RAV4 Sequim, WA |

If I was replacing I would go 12v. Just google 12v dvd/tv combo.

Yep! I agree. We replaced our whole media stack with 110 ac components which is not a problem with a 30 amp hook-up, but the 12 v. gives you a lot more flexibility. We would also have gone with a TV/DVD combo unit if not for some "already got" components. Read their reviews carefully, though. Some of them are notorious for not lasting long. ------------- Bob and Joyce Jennifer and Baxter, the Campin' Cocker Spaniels RP 177 "Key Pod" Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT / Z71 |

This unit doesn't have a video display. You have to hook it up to a TV to watch a DVD. It mounts in the wall and is roughly 8" x 8" square. These things are harder to find than you might think. While I don't want to spend a fortune like I said, I'm okay with spending a few bucks too.
