[QUOTE="Vader's Fury, post: 420072, member: 473"] Ok I have a lil time so i will try to layout my plans. First let me explain the purpose of this. I am currently working on a project that I have been doing research and planning on for the last 1.5 -2 years. I am planning to build an excursion that will be my ideal road trip vehicle. I commonly take weekend trips and vacations that include a decent size group of people so a large vehicle properly setup would fit perfectly. Here is my audio/video plan. I will have a 10"-12" touch screen monitor located in the dash or custom center console to control my onboard PC. I will have 2 flip down screens for the rear seats. I also plan to install a port in the rear cargo area so that when going tailgating at a football game or a NASCAR race I will be able to setup a TV in the rear area and watch pre- game shows or whatever. That covers the viewing components. Now for video sources, I am currently in the process of converting my DVD library over to digital. I plan to have a portion of this or if possible the entire thing onboard so i can watch any of them at any time. I also plan to install some type of game system. (ps3, Xbox 360 etc) I will determine what system when the time comes. For right now I will be using my old xbox for testing and such. I also plan to have on board wifi so that i can watch TV when i desire. (I have that setup with my cable already so that should be easy) as well as browse the internet when i need to. I also still want the ability to listen to the radio and play CD's. Another thing with the sound portion is I want the ability to use head phones to listen to the 2 rear screens so that I will still be able to listen to the radio while I am driving. I hope to be able to set the headphones up to be wireless, but if not then they will be plug in and i will install jacks for all of them. That is what i hope to have working from this whole system. Also the real kicker is I want to be able to control all of this from the front seats so i do not have to stop to switch videos for the kids or anything like that. I know my hopes are high and that, with having very little personal experience with this sort of stuff that I am in for a bunch of long nights banging my head against the wall and trying to figure everything out and make it work how I would like it to. Any questions, idea's, comments and criticism is welcome except the "why waste your time, its not possible" type. It may not be possible to do it exactly how I would like it to work but I already know I can do it by having multiple control screens in the front console. I am trying to minimize that down to just one screen if possible. If not then using the least number required. [/QUOTE]
