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

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,
Lol took some pics earlier the person i bought the car off was not the tidiest of people!
and then some!
and this is the one ive ordered
