So in lamens terms what do I need (if possible) to make my T play DVD's??? ...BTW I have premo sound....Is it just a matter of buying a dvd player and hooking it up to the screen... I dont want to watch tv just DVD and have mp3'zCheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy with $500 and all the hard work is already done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking about a DVD setup aswell←the only way you can tell the car has the xbox in it is when you pop the boot (see pic).please PM me if you want more info as I was just offering the xbox as a solution to the original post and don't want to hijack the thread.

I dont even use mine as it is plus I was thinkking of putting the dvd player in the glovebox or somewhere else hidden from view that is also easily acessible from the cabin....I have premium sound (amp, sub, tweeters etc.....) I dont really understand about the colour thing. The icc screen is like blue but when I turn the headlights on for instance it goes almost black... if that makes any sence..So all I need is a dvd player maybe a converter... correct??Also how much will this cost...??Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KTASTRPHE Member 82 Member For: 18y 7m 18d Location: Perthoslavakia Posted 18/11/06 03:28 AM Share Posted 18/11/06 03:28 AM I bought a convertor that plugs into the factory looms. Run a JVC DVD deck and it plays movies through the factory screen. Very happy with it. I posted contact details for the bloke that made it in another thread. His name is guiseppe, but that's all I can remember. Best to do a search because Im too lazy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
