Well, for passengers to play games and watch DVDs, and I suppose eventually kids.

I say "game console" because it is a power inverter with a game plate, with jacks for power and A/V, with an optical audio cable to plug in if possible. Therefore I can plug in any game system with A/V outputs, including PlayStation 2, XBox, Wii, GameCube, etc.

It has especially come in handy on long drives. My girlfriend was able to watch DVDs with IR headphones via the PlayStation 2 while I listened to my iPod via the Alpine Head Unit (DVA-9861). My friends were able to play games in the back seats with IR headphones and IR remote controls while we used the computer for music and navigation up front. It is a very versatile system. The key is the Clarion MSS430 multi-zone A/V selector. Each monitor can independently select an input
