When are car manufacturers going to stop putting DVD players in cars, and put in Blu-ray players? With a Full HD screens.... THX, DTS certified etc... Even if it's mainly for the compatibility thing, it would still be good.

Would you like an exact date?

Chevypower · 09-26-2008, 11:05 PM

yes please... smart @$$

DC_Street · 09-26-2008, 11:07 PM

considering a car really can't take advantage of Blu-Ray's audio and picture quality, I don't see it happening anytime in the near future

Never watched Pimp My Ride where they put huge ass plasmas in the vehicle?

Hell, I have two laptops here that display 1080p fine.
Although, a 17"+ screen in a car's headliner would be kinda nuts.

Audio? You're kidding, right?
Maybe it's just a Cali thing, but we have some cars driving around that will eat your audio equipment.

DC_Street · 09-26-2008, 11:18 PM

it still isn't practical for a car manufacturer to do it though, they don't put plasmas in their vehicles nor crazy sound systems.

btw, you don't know what kind of car I drive nor what kind of audio system I have put in it, don't assume things about others

Sorry, no dates though. Maybe you'll hear more at this years Tokyo Motor Show.

dadkins · 09-26-2008, 11:35 PM

Same applies for you friend.
Some cars come out of the factory with fairly impressive sound systems.
Ya have to order them, but they are available...

I have a neighbor with a X-D that will melt your car. LOL!

I doubt BD players will be a dealer option anytime soon either... but you can have them installed.

You know, the sad part is that a lot of folks won't see the difference between the two sentences.

I think it wont be long before there is an after market BD player for your car. I remember DVD was like that at first. There were the after market DVD players for your cars, then the dealerships got into putting them in as a request/option.

As far as sound quality goes if your putting a BD player into your car/van (after market or factory) you will upgrade or already have upgraded your sound system. Most factory based cars/vans that come with a DVD player usually have an upgraded sound system to go with the package/option.

What a sad web we weave

My_Two_Cents · 09-27-2008, 12:16 AM

Personally, I would like to have a player in our car that would accept both BD and standard DVDs. I've not purchased a standard DVD since I got my PS3 in January. Unfortunately, that means I can't watch (with my ears) any new movies when we go on family trips.
