Need help from the AV folks! :)

[VTSTOMPER]

here is the 411:

I have the visilogic system that GM tossed into their H2's during the promo. I want to toss in my PS2 or Xbox both in there so people can play.

hopes:

Play PS2 on one screen and watch a movie on the other OR play PS2 on both screens - even screen to screen for two plater modes.

Then I want to be able to take the PS2 out and ad the Xbox if I want - probably can even have them both mounted with a switch. Same thing - I want to have all the combos. Movies on both screens, or one screen. Games on both screens, or on one screen.

The visilogic has the wireless headphones too...and they seem to have two channels. I am not sure of the DVD system has AV jacks (RCA) on the back or not. It does have an input jack on the front, but it looks to be a small headphone style jack.

Let me know your thoughts - thanks in advance!

If your dvd is mounted in the center console as I believe all the promo systems were, then pull off the back of the center console and you shold find the control box for the Viz. One of the pigtails coming from that box is 'AV2IN', just stub out a 3 way cable and use that for your ps2/xbox. On each of the screens is a source button--use that to switch between the dvd or ps2. The headphones have 2 ir channels so that headrest 1 can watch/listen to something different than headrest 2 and not interfere with each other. You will be able to switch to either source (dvd or ps2) on either screen at any time you want. Note that the sound from the ps2 will only be broadcast over the headphones and not fed to the radio.

Very trick! That is what I am going to do then!

Mine is mounted in the center console! When I pull off the back, you mean where the stock settings and things are right? for rear heated seats and stuff?

I just have my PS2 kicking around collecting dust - and I am sure the 'modded' Xbox will soon too. I will get the 360 in the house, and then maybe move it to the truck on trips and what not.

Also, what should I get for a power inverter? Anyone have one they like?

Yes, exactly. When you pull off that rear panel, you should see the av control box and the extra inputs on a pigtail. You should get a 350 watt power inverter.

Sure...I will take a pic tomorrow.

The DVD is in the center console with a small mounting bracket. +: you get a spot to put your DVD player. -: you lose space for your CDs or DVDs...lucky for me I typically only have what it is the deck and the DVD players.

[kodiakz]

Humm This, just keep in mind that the promo unit that came with the dealer installed Viz systems is a smaller dvd player and I have yet to come accross any other units that would fit in the bracket as it does.

[VTSTOMPER]

That is going to be tough to fit in there...even the small slim line. Unless you trim the plastic ...there might be some wasted space in there, but I don't know. I will get you some pics.

[VTSTOMPER]

ahha...elcustom! very kewl!

[kodiakz]

Humm This, if you have removed the Bose amp you could probably do it with some work. You would need to blow apart the ps2 so that the dvd-rom drive could face rearward. Then you could cut a custom little acccess slot in the storage cubby in that rear panel below the controls. If you still have the blows amp, you will need to think about doing it elsewhere as there just won't be room there. You could take out the onstar control and try to do something there.

your sub box looks verry nice. i also like the idea of the ps2 in the center counsel i was thinkin of puttin one in the center arm rest in the back. i have a sut.

[kodiakz]

That's some nice fiberglass work!!! You should DEFINITELY be running a high current alt to run 8 subs.
