Ive got a question about the 15" screen.
You are mounting on the bootlid? would it not be better to custom mount it into the dash, and watch DVDs, etc..? Just trying to see the point of screen on bootlid. Cheers

Already got a 7" widescreen there to watch DVD's in the interior.
Haven't got anypics of the interior as that is a work in progress as well. Sort of doing everything at once. Just had my motor, trans and stall done - have a turbo and intercooler in the shed while i source parts for that. and doing the audio at the same time. $14,000 approximately. so i am running very short of cash at the moment. The interior already has the 7" widescreen with TV tuner DVD Player and my Head Unit as i wasn't going to fork out $3,000 for a decent HU that has a tv inbuilt. Have an invertor in the boot corner behind the seats next to the Amplifier to run stuff, maybe my xbox or a car fridge for the drinks. - (Shaken by subs not stirred) But the screen in the boot is for when i stop at show's or on cruises and can open it up and watch music videos etc. |

Yeah too much. and i have to put up with that little mark on my bumper in the pics as a member of my family lost control of a fridge on a trolley and hit the bumper with the corner of the fridge.
Have to get a new bumper and i can't afford it. They say it was an accident - but they won't pay to repair it.
They say it's just a car - (WELL HELLO _ IF ITS JUST A CAR YOU WONT MIND ME KICKING IN YOUR BRAND NEW F$#KING HOLDEN THEN WILL YOU)  Thought a nice ford sticker on their holden would be a noice touch

hehe
what you're doing kinda sounds like what i'm doing (not turbo etc) i have an 8" touch screen in front of my ash tray/lighter hooked upto a laptop which will eventually go through the HU (tis sony so i need to get a stacker or source selector (source selector $199 from autobarn, quoted me $350 for 6disc stacker, while $235 gets ya a stacker from supercheap). Eventually gonna have a beefier pc in the car with winamp running, dvd movies and will eventually see about tv tuner. cruising around town with netstumbler running is interesting when you get the noise through the stereo... access points are everywhere hehe. |

Well there’s a few ways but both Pioneer and Alpine make AUX adaptors that allow you to run a signal in and use all headunit controls.
From memory around $120 - $150… You would then use a lead with - 3.5mm stereo jack on one end and 2 x RCA on the other…

The plug connects into the stacker cable input and has 2 female RCA plugs on a short fly lead off it.
It also has a stacker cable on the back of it so you can use a stacker as well as the AUX in so no functionality is lost..

pyroay,
I got quoted $199 for the sony aux adapter, seeing as you're local do you know where to get one (or can get one?) for cheaper than that? I dont really like autobarn cause they like to sell everything at RRP  After getting quoted $199 for the aux adapter at autobarn and seeing a sony stacker at supercheap for $235 i was gonna lean towards the stacker just because it "does more" if i ever got rid of the laptop/stuff.

Yeah I use a Sony XA-300 with my sony xplod HU this allows me multiple connections. E.g. Stacker, Walkman - DVD etc. as well as connecting to my computer via the USB port.
The XA-300 then has a single Bus line and 2 RCAs to the HU to input the Audio signal. At the head unit i can then select what i want. e.g. i want to listen to the DVD player so i select it. or i want to listen to CD's of my stacker so i just select between all the different sources. |
