FINALLY! Xbox and Redmax Tv in my car! PICS!!!!

ok so i got my tv, and of course was mad happy and tore apart my whole entire dash and installed this thing...

what i needed for this to work:
xbox
inverter(400 watt vector)
tv(duh)
other wires
switch(to turn off tv)

well i have the inverter currently hooked up to the cig lighter(hardwired though) which i dont like but i looked for ALONG time tryin to find a place for the wire to go through the firewall to the battery, but couldnt find it...
anyway, heres what it looks like
sorry for crappy pics..
now on to modding my xbox more

ps- i had to take the top of my xbox off because it wouldnt fit under the seat, ill get a pic later, im to lazy now lol

i installed mine so the screen is centered more vertically and the nonfunctioning LED is hidden. there is a grommet in the firewall near the clutch. take of your driver's side wheel well guard and you'll see it.

no modification necessary. just unscrew the pocket, and screw in the HU.

the tv has 3 wires
one black
one red
one orange

the black is just ground, hook that to any ground

hook the red to a POSITIVE( its best to jus splice the cig lighter wire)

and the orange is for switch....which kinda explains itself

whats an inverter for? My biggest question is where and how do you screw or fit in the screen to the double din opening? DOes it just sit in that space or is it secured in any way?

the inverter is what u plug ur xbox into

it converts the power from the car to power for ur xbox

and for the screen, basically what happens is u take out everything, loosen all screws, fit the screen in, tighten screws

ps--NEW VBULLITEN!!! YAY!!! i was wonderin when they were gonna upgrade!

ok thanks....also how do I splice the red power wire from the lcd player into the cig lighter for power? Cant I just run it to the battery? also the dvd player redmax gave me (a galaxia) recieves power via the cigg lighter through an adapter like on a cell phone car charger....will this still work with the other power wire installed into the cig lighter? finally what is a good cd/mp3 player that will have aux inputs for the dvd and lcd player? I would also need preamp outputs....can i plug the dvsd player into the preamp outputs as well? thanks!
