Does anybody know anything about the Panasonic CY-VMD9000u?

[GT-S Celica]

i want to know if its any good. i'm planning on buying a hu that plays dvd, cd, and radio. I dont want to buy something that isn't reliable...

Yeah, I have it. I love it, the only problem is that burned cd won't read with it, so I suggest getting a MP3 player to go with it which is what I'm planning to do. You can check out my setup here....

I had to get a trim plate and mount custom done, but it was worth it.

man, your car looks really good.
i have few questions to ask.
1.) doesn't the panasonic cy-vmd9000u play dvd,cd,and radio? Y do you have another head unit below the panasonic one? wat does it do?
2.) how did you change your rpm gauge like that? the redline is actually red and everything else is blue. did you color your gauge with something or did you change your LED?
3.) is it hard to take apart the headlight? i'm plannig on doing this.

1) Yes it plays DVD, CD, but not radio unless you get the seperate reciever. Also, it dosen't read CD-R discs, I guess because of the laser or something. The unit below is my old 701U head unit that I use for CD's and the radio.
2) I had to scratch off the orange numbers from the gauge cluster. It took a couple of days to do and then I had Skunk Killer put in the blue LED's cause I have no soldering skills.
3) the headlight is held on by 3 bolts. You have to take the bumper parthy off to get to the third screw. I wasn't that hard to do.

that looks dope man,

that's kinda of the setup that i was planning on doing

quick question for ya, do u worry about theft alot?
i mean ur s-afc and dvd is out there right and everyone can see it, do you have a dummy plate or anything to cover it up?

that's one of my main concerns, so i'm wondering what u do?

You have the same CD deck I have.

I want the same gauge cluster as you. Does anyone have directions on how to change the orange to blue?

[NellieB]

You have to change the stock LED's from white to blue, then take off the gauge face and scratch off the orange numbers allowing the blue to come through nicely... My pics at the top show a good view of them
