Hey All!

I love the Rx8 and now I Finally Own one!!

I need your guidance, if you could please help me. I spent the last two days or so scouring the forum for Mod answers for a DVD system and new and interesting ways to mount LCD displays in the back (other than the back of the seat).

I have the Stock nav., and I didn’t want to fool with that too much.

This is my vision:

-mount small DVD player in the glove box
-mount two lcd displays that mount on each of the suicide doors that have the ability to swing out in front of the passenger and back flush into the door (I think of a camcorder's lcd movement, but 7-8" of course). Here's a challenge: can we rig it so that the passengers can switch channels, let’s say, from DVD display, to nav, to maybe even TV?
-eventually I want to install a "carputer" as you guys put it, as well. So whatever we come up with would have to be compatible ( I don’t like the idea of replacing the LCD display in the stock nav with a touch screen - I’m afraid to ruin it - that’s also why I wanted a second DVD in the glove box).

If I missed anything that was mentioned in the forums that you think might help please repost it in this thread. Thanks for your time and help.

Sounds like a cool idea. When you figure it our a DIY would be great.
