heya all.

i have started my own incar pc install. i have a good knowledge of computers, cars and fiberglassing which is why i have decided to do this.

i have everything sorted and planned out but there is one thing which is causing me some querys which i hope you guys can help with

i have a touchscreen monitor which i want to run on the pc using the vga output which is fine. now the problem is that i also want to run headrest screens from the pc aswell which requires the yellow video out.

is there a mini itx board which will allow me to use vga and video out together at the same time?

if not, what can i do to combat this?

please help guys.. this is the only thing holding me back

thanks in advance

The VIA boards allow for this, but might be only for cloning the display (which i think is what you would want...)

yes all i need if for a clone of the display to show as all functions and everything will be carried out via the touchscreen at the front.

so would this mother board do the required task?

VIA EPIA MII 12000 LVDS 1.2Ghz Motherboard

At least EPIA-M has cinch connector that can be switched to either SPDIF audio out, or TV out using onboard jumper.
As for Epia-MII, they have similar layout, same chipset, similar feature set, so why dont you check motherboard manual from VIA webpage? I am quite sure this would be mentioned there.

I'm also planning on using a MII but would rather the two screens be independent and not cloned. Is this possible with the MII or does it need an extra gfx card?
