PROJECT: Renault Grand Espace 2001 - Tom C.

Return to Menu

Tom planned to do a lot of driving in his new Renault Grand Espace, and asked us to install a VDO Dayton navigation system to help him on his way. In order for Tom to be allowed to drive the distances that he enjoyed so much, he had to find a way of keeping his children and passengers quiet. Not sure whether to opt for a games console or a DVD player, we agreed on a Playstation PS/2, as gameplay and DVD are both possible on this model.


Headrest

As the Headrests are fairly substantial on the Renault, we were able to take full advantage of the "Mobile TV" range of 5.6" colour monitors, that are an absolute dream to install.


Sony PS/2

In order to maximise the load space, the Sony PS/2 was located in the rear quarter, whilst access is still fairly easy through the original panel.

Be Carefull

The installation difficulties are not as you might think, with the headrests, but with the supplementry restraints on the seats, in the form of Airbags and seat belt tensioners.

If you plan to tackle this sort if install yourself, make sure that you seek professional advice before tampering with any of the supplementry restraints.


And for the Driver

The VDO Dayton MS5000 Monitor is mounted on a quick release clip for security.
