I'm thinking of installing a Kenwood KVT-514 DVD Receiver in my 2003 ST. I noticed when the screen is out it covers the front of the 2 a/c vents. Will the cold air blowing on the back of the screen to any damage? And will it effect the air flow.

Bruce, with all of your Audio posts I think there is an echo in here.. LOL



(That happens when you do a "refresh" from the same screen you posted within by the way. Also common if you use a hand held device as it never leaves the screen, thus, it is a new post).

It won't do any damage, they are made to work in the great white north with no issues.

I'm sure it will effect airflow, but can't say how much..

I could see how heat could affect it more than cold though.



Electronics do NOT like heat in general.

But it's again no worse than what the cab would be if the person were in AZ or TX.. sure it will shorten the life, but who's to say how much?

u can always close those vents so nothing flows thru

My alpine blocks the 2 middle vents as well, when the tv is opened. I just turned the vents off just in case. Doing so, gives better flow and more heat or a/c to whoever is sitting in the front.
