Ripspeed DV720
by nijnigel
i had this DVD/car sterio for my birthday for my car and i have to say its GREAT! i had it installed by the shop and have never had a problem with it, it comes with a remote control so its just like using the DVD player at home.
both picture and sound quality is brill, it definatly beats a standard car sterio. you can also hook up a ... sub woofer to it and extra screens to go on the back of the headrests.
It opens and closes motorised, not like some of the cheaper ones that you have to push and pull to get the screen out. it has loads of different sound settings you can choose from or you can set the base, treble etc yourself.
it is not recomended that you drive with the screen up and on, so it should be wired to your handbrake, meaning that you can only have the screen up when you are parked, highly recomended.

Ripspeed DV720
by ESMETHOMPSON
The best thing about the Ripspeed DV720 is definately the great price it can be bought for it can be bought online for just over £200 which is fantastic for a DVD player. The player looks really expensive as well with a nice finish and a DVD screen which folds away when not in use. I have to say that I found the player very difficult ... to install in my car and while i'm no car expert I have fitted a good few radios in my time. The wiring for the DVD player function takes a lot of working out.
The main disadvantage which i have found so far is that the quality of sound is a little bit poor. It seems to me that they have put all the effort into the DVD function which is really good and the DVd quality is really good but when only paying such a small price for the thing something had to be compromised and they have obviously decided not to worry too much about sound quality. Having said that it is still ok just not the best. It is also possible to link your mp3 player or ipod to the player through a connection at the back. This can save a lot of time burning music onto a disk etc.
I would recommend the player for someone who likes things to look good, who is not as worried about quality of sound as the quality of the DVD player and who doesn't want to spend a fortune.

Blaupunkt Malaga CD36
by hotrock4
Hi recently bought a new car and desperately needed a stereo and this Blaupunkt CD-player was the item given to me by my brother.
This is a pretty basic stereo with just am/fm radio and cd player with an aux function so you can connect a cd changer or i-pod etc. The sound quality produced even through standard car speakers is ... good and would sound even better through an amp.
Being that I have an older car I had to buy a wiring harness from my local Halfords. This was £13.99 ad an adaptor for the ariel was £4.99. When talking to the member of staff at Halfords he seemed to think this stereo would fit into any newer car with no adjustments.
I have tried to find a price for this CD player but it cannot seem to find it for sale anywhere, similar Blaupunkt stereos available now seem to be selling for around £70 - £100 RRP.
The main problem with this stereo i've found is that the fascia is not removeable i think this i as it is an older model as most modern car stereos include this feature.
If i had to replace this stereo i would safely say i would get another Blaupunkt, merely because of the ease of use with all the buttons being well laid out and the sound quality being excellent.
