messed up my indash.. now what?

well, to make a long story short, about a few weeks ago i managed to mess up my indash all in one monitor/dvd combo. the deck still works, however, the monitor wont display anything, and also the motor for the motorized monitor burnt out (im assuming since smoke started to come out from it.. and now it just makes clicking noises..)

anyways, needless to say i was pissed..

now the question is should i:

1) get another indash all in one monitor/dvd player
2) get 2 seperate din's (dvd player and a seperate motorized monitor)
3) get a dvd player deck and do 2 sunvisor monitors
4) get a double din all in one monitor/dvd player

any suggestions from you guys would be appreciated! ..and if you did have a pic of your current set up that would be sweet too!.. thanks!

4. get a double din DVD/NAVI system. saves you time, looks oem......ans its super clean looking

plus, you dont have to worry so much about the motor burning out.

Do the asian way! Buy the EXACT one and put the broken one back in the box and return it. Only if it looks new, if not then its not worth going through all that trouble.

Haha Trust me, the way i said works! I did it at Pepboys..I spent $30 on NGK iridium spark plugs. Then i went to Honda and bought NGK Sparkplugs for a '99 civic for $10 and i put those plugs into the IRIDIUM box and returned them to Pepboys ^^

hmm... well I AM asian.. so that IS a possibility.. hahaha =P

im a little bit leaning towards the two sunvisor monitors, just for show type purposes (cos i'll have 2 monitors..), but the only problem is i do watch it quite a bit while im driving, and having the sunvisors pulled down a majority of the time would be a problem.. that's why im thinking if i should just get a single monitor in the center console so it's easier to watch..

you PROBABLY shouldn't watch anything while youre driving, besides the road. It might be a slight safety hazard.

I second that, lol.

but umm... I'd go with option 2. That way if you have one piece break, you dont loose the whole set up.. just replace the screen or the dvd deck

I will do #4, where you can get a all-in-one type. Sell the current DVD player if you can, and you will save some cash...

yea, but you don't have to flip the screen every time you use the headunit, actually you don't even need to flip the screen at all, at least in my case, using my ipod connection.
