Hi it is fairly easy, i put an 'in-dash' screen into a centre console, a PS2 along with a power inverter under the drivers seat. wired the screen off my headunit, and ran a positive from battery, into a power splitter, which then went to the power inverter to power the PS2. simple!!

thanks mate thats just what i wanted

[lewis]

one more question how hard would it be to put it in the glove compartment

[P91MER]

The screen, or the Ps2?

i have seen the screen in the glovebox before, all they did was made a custom box to mount the screen, put some carpet over it, and placed it in the glove box, so when you open it, all is there is the screen..
The ps2 i am not sure, it shouldn't be too hard. it is just the cableing and that which will be the hard job, but the ps2 fits perfectly under the seat, just leaving enough to be able to know where the buttons are, a bit o velcro and it is secure too!!!!

Sound you will need to get an FM modulator, which sends the sound into your headunit via FM radio!!

I fitted my screen like this. Not the simplest way i'm sure you'd agree but it does look good. Just waiting for power invertor now and i'll be putting ps2 in. Was thinking of making a compartment for it under the dash on the passenger side.

I like it mate!!!

and i love your aircraft style switches!!!! did they just fit straight in, or did you have to make a new switch templete? saying that tho, they wouldn't suit my road going car. yours has a racey look!

what are the security precautions you two take because wouldnt it be easy to someone to break in and nick the screen?

[P91MER]

Ermm, well i have just took my PS2 out, as all my mates were worried for me!!! but i usually set my rover alarm, and park it where i can keep an eye on it, or by some CCTV cameras.

My screen tucks away into the centre console, so it isn't on show that much really, just looks like a CD changer or something!!

[lewis]

did you make that yourself?

[philster]

My screen just pulls out and unplugs with two plugs. I only really put it in when i need it because they'll pinch your shoe laces round here if you walk slow enough! The car is also alarmed and immobilized but i still won't leave it in. I'm in the process of making a quick release bracket for mounting the ps2. Although i'm hoping to have it out of sight once installed i still wouldn't trust leaving it over night.

where did you get the screen from, theres a DVD player and screen from halfords for about £200 which im thinking about getting but the screens only 5inch and really i would like a 7inch one. but it comes with a dvd player all runs off 12v and will wire in nice and easy i hope. how did u wire the sound in to the cd player??
