i can't wait till november 21st... when I get to chuck PS1s through a parking lot to win prizes.

And if you all do get these little screen conversions working... make a guide... cuz I'd love to have something like that in my car(not YET a scion... but i'll put one in that when I get it too).

I hacked up my finger on my PSone screen too.

Looking forward to your DIY - specifically running the cabling up to the sunvisor and wiring it all in.

Buy a universal adaptor, cut the cig part off, and hardwire that to the car. Shove the convertor box up under the dash, or in one of the seat belt columns.

After reading this thread i went to 3 different kmarts...finally found one that said they had 7!! When we got there they only had 5....so we bought all 5 lol. For tv screens in your car you can't beat $13! I'm thinking of putting 1 in each of the front headrests, one in the pocket above the glove box, and then maybe attempting to put the other 2 in the visors.

attempted to do all these stuff for the box, but then i came across a diy lcd projector for home use and 2 hours later decided to cancel the xb project(since i can only get a hold of one screen)and do a home lcd projector

How much are they at the store near you? The store closest to my work didn't have any. I didn't have a chance to get by the others yet. If I can't get hands on them locally, I might have to look you up to help me out.
