Xbox in car

Featured Replies

Right we have just bought a new car and I want to put an XBOX in the boot and small screens on the head rest for those long journeys. This is what I plan to do :-

1. There is a 12v socket in the boot on the car where I can plug in my 12v > 240V invertor for the xbox. It is a 150w invertor, does the xbox require anymore power than 150w ?

2. Build a small box or bracket to take the xbox in the boot. (XBOX must be removable)

3. Buy some extender leads for the controllers and DVD IR remote so they can be plugged in on or near the front seats.

4. Buy some screens that fit over the front drivers and passengers headrests (Again must be removable) with all the approriate wiring. (2 Screens will require some kind of splitter)

5. Pump the sound through the car speakers (Not sure if a Citroen Picasso head unit has an aux input or not)

Now in theory I know this can be done but what I need are places I can buy the equipment. I don't need an xbox or DVD remote kit as I have these but what I do need is the screen splitter for 2 small LCD screens, 2 LCD screens that are good quality but not expensive and the DVD IR Remote and controller extention leads.

Anyone able to point me in the right direction ?

Thanks
