i Want everyones opinion on Sony PSP install in the RX8. thank you
hello people. i currently have just the factory cd player unit in my rx8. i would like to get opinions from everyone on installing the sony psp with a p.i.e. connector IN the overhead sunglasses storage tray so it flips out, will it fit? i just got the deminsions from the internet (dont own a psp, yet) gonna do some measurements.
the only after problem after that (besides fab. work) is controlling it. the only remote offered is with the headphones and the male end has both the remote connection and headphone side by side as one, how could i get around that? thanks |
I have my psp hooked up through direct line-in mod. Alot of work went into this, just for a line-in. The psp wont fit in the sunglasses area without some dremel work. To this day I haven't found a place to put my psp while my mp3's are playing. So I just put it under the armrest. There's a company coming out with a cool car kit. I'll find it and post it here for you, bud.

hey thanks for the input TxRx8. yeah i do plan on some fabrication work to have the psp "sit" in the sunglasses tray. when you say direct line in mod you mean the one posted along time ago that goes directly into the cd unit? and another question does anyone know how much the glasses tray costs, in case i mess it up?
thanks |

thanks http://www.radicauk.com/pspblack/76130.htm. If you ever do the sunglasses mod, post up a DIY. BTW is you mess up your sunglasses holder it shouldn't be more than 30 bucks for another one. I'll find out tho. If it's not expensive I'll do it too. :) The only problem I see would be routing the line-in cable up to the top behind the sunglasses area. But two minds are better than one. So if you need any other help just post it up here. Later, Tx |
i think ill try my idea before i get the car kit. but i preciate the link. i always wanted a screen in my car that would flip down from nowhere :Eyecrazy:

Let me know how it works out. Like I said if it works for you, I'm in. :ylsuper: |
ok i think it should fit with some fabrication. so now my next step is to buy a psp and a p.i.e. connector. i still want input from more people.
thanks |
Wouldn't it be easier to make yourself a rail system under the CD player, cut a slot on the lower face plate, and install the PSP like that? You slide the psp out length wise, then do a 90 degree turn to sit the psp right side up. And if you do a swing arm on the rail, then you can adjust the psp to any viewing angle you want.

youre joking right?? in no way that would be easier, its an option though for maybe the west coast customs crew. but thanks for the idea. |
