Default Does anybody use their PSP to watch movies in car.

ive hooked up my PSP to my tC. But my question is has anybody else done this, and where did you mount (velcro) your PSP?

Hmmm.....just velcro? Is this for you while you are driving? If so, big issues if a cop sees this......

No mostly just for looks, and friends to watch. Well it has to be mounted so that it can be removed. So mostly i was just asking if anybody has come up with a creative way to do this?

Im a Tech Junky. I bought my PSP the first week it came out, so ive had it for over a year already. $260 for something that plays Games/Music/Movies/Browses the Internet/Stores Photos is Cheap and well worth the price.

^ I'm a tech freak just like you. I use my psp to watch movies/tv shows in the car connected to the aux port when I'm waiting in the car or for other passengers. Bought the psp and rarely use it now, just like the ipod video! But I still want it!

ive went through a million ideas of ways to put on a detachable yet flush and clean looking psp attatchment. fiberglass is defnintely the best way, with some kind of opening like a glove box. have u guys seen the car adapter/mp3 radio adapter. allows u to play mp3s on ur psp through ur car. it works like a charm. only 20 bucks.

I just use a portable DVD player when I go on long trips. The 7in screen is much better to watch movies on than the PSP. I hook up the DVD player to a FM modulator so I can play the audio through my car speakers. Works well for me.

Yea, but the good thing about the 2006 tC is the AUX plug-in in the center console. Dont need the FM modulator. I already have the PSP, but am planing on getting a DVD/Nav HU. So getting a portable DVD player wouldnt make sense while having the PSP.
