I was thinking about something similar, with a ps2 in the back seat, but I dont have the funds right now. You could try to make something yourself, but if you have never worked with fiberglass, you should probably go somewhere to get it installed the way you want it will cost ya, but you dont want to mess it up real bad, cause its right in plain sight no matter what...

A guy I know bought a 94 mustang with an LCD screen and PS2 installed into the dash. They took out the middle vents, dropped the CD player and air/heater controls down a slot, and had a custom mould made to accomodate a 5" by 4" or so LCD screen. They installed the PS2 where the passenger side airbag goes, moulded in nicely, keeping a factory look. I'm not sure how they ddid it, but it looks great. You just sacrifice your middle cents and passenger side airbag (is there one?).

Audio thread ..... really

Here's an install I'm thinking about for the Cobra.
Is that what you're looking at????

6.5" screen .... some cutting involved to fit.

Seems like it sync's on NTSC (USA) or PAL (European) television standards. This means you have to have a TV tuner or computer that generates NTSC or PAL output (composite video). It doesn't say it will work with VGA, SVGA or XGA so the common personal computer video can't be directly used without a NTSC or PAL card stuffed in the box. It also says it uses 12 volt power. The chances are 12v automotive power is too dirty to use with a visual display so you'd likely also need a power filter or a DC-DC converter to power it. I'm not saying you can't do this, what I'm saying is the $119 price quote comes with some hidden costs. It would be real easy for your $119 project to cost $1,119.

It's a Kenwood DDX-7015. It motors down, with a CD/DVD player behind it. Very, very cool piece. It is double din, and is a very basic install in a Mustang. Here is the info from the lit:

Got a car with a big dash opening? The DDX7015 is ready for it. This new in-dash touchscreen monitor/DVD receiver has a 2-DIN chassis, so you can get a factory fit and look in lots of different vehicles. The DDX7015 is packed with Future Ready/Already features and technology, including a 6.5"-wide, 16:9 touchscreen display, DVD-Video/CD/MP3/WMA playback, 24-bit digital-to-analog converters, and a brand-new GUI on-screen interface with touchscreen control. The fully-motorized 6.5"-wide LCD screen slides effortlessly down for disc loading, then returns to one of 6 user-selected angles for optimum viewing. The System E's+ Advanced Crossover System gives you all the adjustments you need to get the most out of whatever speaker's your system has, and System Q EX Sound Control makes it easy for you to fine-tune the sound until it's just the way you want it. There's built-in 50-watts x 4 amplification or you can use the high-voltage gold-plated front, rear and non-fading preouts with Kenwood Excelon power amps to create your dream system. (The DDX7015 even controls the A.M.S. functions of 2004 Kenwood Excelon power amps right from its touchscreen.)An A/V input/output expands your video source choices, and you can also add a Kenwood Excelon Music Keg and HD Radio or SIRIUS Satellite tuners. Connect the optional KDS-P901 DSP/Surround Sound Decoder to the DDX7105's digital output for a total 5.1-channel experience, complete with Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound decoding. A programmable security code brings peace-of-mind, and a full-function 10-key remote is included.

Yeah that personalized PC is so very pimp.

The thread I saw the unit ..... his install in a 01+ GT.

Will require some cutting and a specific harness to match stock 460.

 

[BlackPony2000]

i personally think that this little PC would havebeen a much better solution to the space issue..

That kenwood in-dash DVD player can support navigation system that just plugs into it. It's a nice system. I need a job!
