Another screen?, questions.. Options

[cnelson]

I have a single din in dash cd/dvd/radio/aux input. What i would like to do is put a double din screen in mount the radio/cd/dvd player in the glove box. then run wires to the double din screen so it will display what ever's on the radio it will display on the screen. The radio has 2 AUX inputs and and Video Inpute and Output line, and Audio Input and Output, I'm not sure if i can do what i want do to do? I know to change the station and stuff i'll have to open the glove box but will it work what i want to do? I want the double din screen to show whatever is on the radio screen. is this possible?

I guess the question is, what all do you need to do in your car? hopefully drive it, listen to music and watch a movie every so often when you have time to spare but thats about it, even a dvd player is a pushing it in my opinion. I went though that whole fase then decided its not worth the money, got myself a good mp3 deck high end speakers/sub and called it good, rather then messing with all the issues installing a pc in your car is gana cause, big part of it is the power consumption of a pc since you have to convert the dc power to ac then the power supply of the computer converts it back to dc, if you get rid of your deck compleatly you have to get a amp for your speakers, taking up even more power, your gana need a high end battery and keep good eye on your alternator, also have to mount the pc in a very stable place, the constant shacking is gana ware it out very fast, cause connections to break and the hd to ware out quick. have to deal with shuting it down every time you stop and booting it back on when you start.

its a lot of work, can be cool if you pretty much live in your car. I'm not trying to be negative just want you to be well informed.
