Oh yes, we love multimedia...here's the beginnings of a project we are working on....(4) 7" widescreens, and (2) 2.5" screens custom molded into front dash piece:

Ron that BMW is sweet and it looked so familiar that I had to take out my copy of the June / July issue of Mobile Entertainment just to make sure it was the same car!! Man oh man that is one sweet install. Mucho props on that. I'm sure the owner paid you guys a pretty penny for that.

Dusty, nice set up. I just got a pioneer dvd/nav in dash for my car, and I am thinking screens in the headrests next. the final step will be putting in my ps2 under the seat. Any fitment issues with the ps2 and moving the seat?

Dusty, thanks! Actually, the car is my brother's and one of our demo cars. We just did some other things to it, which I will be posting more pics of shortly....

Did you do the work on your car yourself?

Do you have heated seats? How'd you fit the PS2 under the passenger seat. Was there enough clearance?

Ron: All the work on the video portion was done by yours truely with some help from a friend

mpc578 & PCGuRu2K: There were no fitment issues. The PS2 will slide in there and will not move too much. I do not have heated seats, so I'm not if there would be fitment issues if you have heated seats. The power for the PS2 is coming from an AC/DC inverter. On the 5th gens there is a lighter plug in the back, so I just tapped into that for the power to the inverter and thus the power to the PS2!

Anyone else have a question or comment?

What size is your monitor? And where did you get it, local?

Feel free to PM.

BTW, it was a pleasure to meet you and enjoy Underworld in your car.

Thanks,
