dvd player to sat nav

[paulcumbia]

2003 Skoda Superb elegance. I have factory sat nav and am just about to order a multimedia adapter to allow AV input (mostly to hook ipod up without losing cd changer). I am going to get both audio video adapter so I could connect DVD player.

On ebay you can pick up in dash dvd players e.g http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9739387243&fromMakeTrack=true

for relatively little money.

My questions -

Will this work?

can I put this in the boot (where tv tuner/first aid box sits)? If i run the audio/video leads from dvd to the multimedia adapter (in glove box/possibly passenger footwell) do I just nead a power lead to dvd player? or do i need the full ISO connection? How easy is that? most of these players come with remote - presume will work in boot?

Or do people suggest siting somewhere else?

Thanks

all you need for most dvd players is a permanent live, switched live and earth. depending on which one you buy some come with an adapter to relocate the remote reciever as the remote won't work in the boot(being IR and all that) but other than that yes just get some long AV leads and plug it in

but i wouldn't get a dvd player like you linked to as this is meant to be used as your car stereo.

some like this woulod be better

be quick though not much time left
