15" Touchscreen LCD -Escalade EXT-

**luis2171** · 06-16-2005, 02:48 AM

I am doing this project for one of my friends.

The only thing I am trying to figure out right now is how to connect the xbox to the vga and be able to switch between the two.

hiyya, seems to me the best way to be able to connect the xbox would be to install a pci card with some type of av input (rca, svideo etc).

from the 2nd pic it seems your not short on pci slots, so i'd reccommend a basic analog tv tuner card, that would also give the carputer TV ability

hope that helps

That's one big screen.

Good luck, hope you can put everything back together okay.

And thats not even the half of it. The Computer was the easy part. The whole truck is being redone. Here is a list of what is going on the truck:

15" LCD Touchscreen Computer
4 X162S Component sets
2 T142C Coax sets
4 T115D2 subwoofers
1 20001bd For Lows
1 8004bd for highs
1 CPCC2 100 Farad Cap
1 CPSR System Regulator
1 RAVDVD2 DVD 7" in-dash Unit
2 Optima Yellow Top Batteries
1 Xbox
1 Rear view Cam
Gps Navigations system
Viper Alarm
26" Zenetti Wheels

And I am doing this all for free (I have a reason)

What do you guys think?

Big screen installs rock

This thread should really go in worklogs though

get the x2vga, it has an input on it for a computer and a button on the front that you can hit to switch between the two.

**The-ill-man** · 06-16-2005, 12:03 PM

whats the reason u are doing it for free....and can you do mine for free?

ps, how much did all the dynamat cost, im thinking about dynamating my yukon which is basically same size

edit: nevermind its an ext

The reason I am doing it for free is because I am sponsoring the install. I am trying to open up my own shop and this is the best way, I think, to show off what I can do. I got Rockford Fosgate to sponsor all of the hardware. All the guy is paying for is the materials. In total he is going to waste about $2000.00+ for the whole install, and thats including hardware.

P.S. Just for the floor it took exactly 37 sq. feet of dynamat. The bulk pack of Dynamat Extreme comes with 37sq. ft. and costs about $135.00. To do the whole truck I think I will need about 2 more bulk packs.
