HU that takes cd changer,vhs,+dvd

[drwang 10+ year member]

I'm going to work on my dad's Ford Expedition. Huge vehicle = big fun project. I will start out by listing the stock system specs.

Stock:

It has the Mach 1 sound system (basically just an 8" sub in the back) with a 6-cd disk changer + VHS tape player hooked up to a roof display unit. 2 front and 2 rear 6x8 speakers + 8" woofer.

Upgrade to:

I'm looking for a suitable headunit that will accept dvds to take full advantage of the display unit. Also, I would like to use the stock cd disk changer and VHS tape player as well.

6x8 speakers will be removed for adpaters to accomodate 6.5" speakers all amped. Considering rainbows again for this car because the contours are working great in my mustang.

I'm still debating on whether the 8" woofer will be replaced with another 8" woofer in the same housing, or just get an external enclosure. I will most likely use the stock to keep the SUV as stock looking as possible because I love the Eddie Bauer stock look with the leather and carpet. Perhaps elemental designs 8" will do but still looking around at that.

Any comments/advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Or links on how to do anything in this Ford Expedition, or links to other people's Expeditions. I'm open to all ideas. Thanks!

My mother likes to watch some of the old school soaps which are on VHS cassettes. And I'd rather have this option open as opposed to converting each cassette to dvd.

I doubt your gonna getta keep your stock CD Changer, however patching in the VHS as well as the DVD shouldn't be too difficult.

Just look for a headunit with an audio input, and then use an external switching device.
