I upgraded my in-Jeep entertainment system and put in a roof mount lcd with an Xbox and dvd player. The screen has picture-in-picture technology. The pic shows a concert in full screen and Burnout3 running in the smaller window. The headphones and controllers are wireless.
More dome lights!!!! Initially I wired the dome lights to come on with the others but the BCM only allowed that a couple times. Now the screen domes come on by pushing a button on the monitor which is perfect for pax. Installing this thing with a sunroof and side curtain air bags was a NIGHTMARE. Would not recommend doing however w/o sunroof would be easier. Most all the side paneling, sunvisors, A-pillars, EVIC, sunroof trim, and pax grab handles had to be removed. Unfortunately I had to add the strap you see over the monitor to keep the screen latched. When offroad (and large pot-holes on road) the screen would occasionally come unlatched. I called Clarion and they have had a couple other complaints and they didn't have a solution. Slightly frustrating after a 20+ hour install. Anyhoo the strap works great.
Here's the Xbox in the back. The power and video cables stay in the Jeep and I just unplug them from the console if I want to use it elsewhere. The case has holes for the fan so the player can stay in it and not burn up.
I put the inverter where the jack used to go. It is wired straight to the
battery and I put a switch on the back of the center console just below the back window switches. Because the Xbox uses a regular hard drive you have to use a pure sine inverter otherwise you'll get noise in the video if you use a crappy inverter.
The dvd player is under the front pax. seat. The Xbox will also play dvds however with the split screen one can watch a dvd and another play Xbox. With the installed Soundgate auxilliary input device (no fm modulation!) you can listen to either source through the stereo too. Halo sounds amazing in the small Liberty cabin! The IR headphones will also broadcast either source if you want to hear another audio source in the cabin.
