but have u seen how low down ur glove box is ... :L

indeed i have thats why i got them rails sliding out and will make it a bit higher,
this will all cost me less then a proper indash dvd..and it will be something unique

[M4RSH4LL]

them convertors aint small either (had one for xbox :L) you be best mounting it somewere under it so u can get access to switch tho i mean not like it needs power all time sure if u made a cover for it u cud put on the shevel below ur glove box ( if u have one ) if not screw it on to it i suppose

well cost you less u seem to know what ur doing were as i wud end up with no more nails glue and a screen stuck to the dash :L!

OH and last and best i will have a touch screen in my glovebox

[M4RSH4LL]

see if your going touch screen wee car pc would be usefull means then movies, music , wifi even ... would be hardest thing in world to do if u get the right screen you just need vga one ( seen one ebay) thought about this all but ive no patience

[Spicy-McHaggis]

I found this screen on ebay, its perfect and it supports Wifi even HDMi and its touch screen!
Ive got a external laptop hardrive worthy of 80GB which i will be able to plug and unplug as i want and the screen has got 2Gb internal memory
I just ordered plates for my baby for PVS, although it will only be front plate
ive got time and patience on my side,
