Considering the following carputer setup and TV tuner screen

http://www.mp3playerstore.com/stuff_...ecial/7-tv.htm

Anyone who's installed a tv tuner screen in ther car please post how well it works and your reception.

After reading alot on these forums I have a few chioces I can go for my master carputer setup. Any input on what you think I should choose would be appreciated.

Route1:
-- Epia 800 with VGA out to 7'' lilliput VGA TFT touchscreen
-- Stereo for FM tuner, USB TV tuner or TV TUNER CARD.
-- USB GPS
-- Internet via Sprint PCS vision phone and data cable

Route2:
-- Epia 800 with S-video out to Non-VGA 7'' Unnamed TFT Touchscreen
-- FM/TV tuner card for output to speakers and touchscreen.
-- USB GPS
-- Internet via Sprint PCS vision phone and data cable

Route3:
-- Epia 800 with S-video out to this monitor with integrated tv tuner and separate ad-on touchscreen kit.

-- Stereo for FM
-- USB GPS
-- Internet through Sprint PCS vision phone and data cable

Route4: A combination of routes 1 through 3.


I'd appreciate you opinion of which choice I should choose.

only thing i see wrong with what you listed is the place you want to get the screen from. I personaly wouldnt shop at mp3playerstore.com. They got some pretty bad ratings over at http://www.resellerratings.com/

Exclamation Any others opinions of which route I should choose.

GPS is a priority for me so I'm leaning towards a VGA input screen because that has greater text detail. Can anyone recommend which way they would go?

You can still get away with using a composite input if you use the right GPS software. ie. CoPilot.
