I just bought an Alpine VCR to go into our EXL-RES so I can play tapes and DVD's. It wont fit cleanly under the front seats without protruding onto the front floor mat by an inch or so, so my thought was to install it under the 2nd row seat behind the driver. That was until I read the following the in the manual:
DO NOT EXPOSE THE UNIT TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT.....OR OTHER PLACES WHERE THE TEMPERATURE BECOMES ABNORMALLY HIGH, SUCH AS DIRECTLY IN THE PATH OF HOT AIR FROM THE HEATER VENT."
Am I being paranoid about putting it about 1.5 to 2 feet away from that heater vent under the front seats? My concerns are both humidity and temperature. The unit has a moisture sensor and on board heater to burn any humidity on the heads once the ignition is turned on, but I would think the heat from the heater is not very humid, and the manual states the units operating temperature is 32f to 104F and in less than 80% humidity.
Does anyone have any experiences, thoughts or ideas about this location or another? Im not so worried about access to the unit since it came with a 12ft cord that is a remote "eye" to point the remote at and there is plenty of wire for both the power and video to put it just about anywhere.
