Nav TV ( all equipment to play through touch screen too)
Alpine TUE 150dvb TV tuner (controlled by nav tv)
Alpine DVE 5207 DVD player
iPod Integration with on screen display and video
PS3 or Xbox 360 Install.

Spoke to navtv today, who have told me they are looki g into enabling reversing camera with autos switch
What you think?

I am intrigued by you putting the ps3 in as this is something I would really like to do. I would ideally like to put it in as a replacement for the dvd changer as I think its a little poor. if you have any info on how your going to do this please let me know

PS3 should be simple... Inverter driven via 30A relay from battery.. Prob wont do the Blue Ray drive any good but thats what a hard drive is for i Suppose...

Guess we will just have to wait and see. XBOX would be easier to install tho

what powers the original dvd changer. and as for the xbox being easier why do you think this mate.

My car doesnt have factory fitted DVD buddy so i will be fitting the alpine stuff... XBOX will be easier as it doesnt require much power, where as the PS3 is a hungry MOFO so will need more juice, ie inverter. XBOX can be converted pretty easily from what i have read to run off 12vn

oh right thanks for the heads up. where are you thinking of locating the xbox mate sorry for the questions its just your the only person that I have seen interested in doing it

not sure yet buddy i recon under the rear O/S seat is a good candidate tho as it is quite open so will allow for air flow. no probs about the questions mate, im learning too. after all thats what forums are for

definatly mate well im looking forward to the build and shall follow this thread closely. thanks for the help
