Playstation & LCD Visor Install***Pics Inside***

[PewterBird]

This all was done for under $40, thanks to some generous people and my ingenuity. Special thanks to Navigatorbob for the free screen, and my another friend for the free playstation. I was given the older larger version playstation plus about 15 games, so I traded it in, plus $10 for the smaller sleeker PS1. Then I got the DC->AC converter for $29.99. I had all the wire,the switch crimping connectors, laying around. So I installed it.

The PS1 the converter and the screen all come on at the same time, with a flip of the switch.

One of my favorite parts is that the Converter is hidden inside the pass. kick panel.











There is no trace of the PS1 or any wiring other than the switch when the glovebox is closed





I almost had the larger style Playstation in there, I had to cut out the entire back of the glovebox. Then I had it fitting,but it wouldn't close by a 1/8 of an inch. And in the process I severed a airbag wire and almost destroyed my glovebox.

I had to remove the whole entire glovebox, and reassemble it with tape and glue from the backside. Now it is back to normall, with only a few hairline marks when it was cut.

I also had to stripp and solder, the broken ABS wire. Moral of the story, when you cut something, make sure you know what is behind it. :rolleyes:

hey, how much did that screen cost and all the wiring stuff for that??? im thinking about putting my PS2 in the camaro and i want 2 screens just like yours.

[EternalVertigo]

ahhh, nevermind, i thought you said the install was 40 bucks. so what brand is that screen and any idea where i could get one cheap???

[PewterBird]

The wiring was just laying around, it was extra from a friends amp install. I would estimate the cost of the wire was around 15 bucks, if that.

2- 6' 12 guage wires from the screen
1 + to power wire
1 - to ground wire

1- 6' Video Cable from Screen

1- 12' 12 gauge wire from the AUX power post
under the hood to the power terminal on
switch.

1- 3' 12 guage wire to ground

2- 6" 12 guage patch wires
1 from converter + splice into hot + wire
1 from converter - spliced into gound wire

1- 3' 12 guage wire from - terminal on switch
to ground

1- 3' 12 guage from AUX terminal on switch
spliced into the LCD, and Converter +'s.

1- 30 amp inline miniblade fuse, between the power terminal and the switch.


I took the converter + and the LCD + and spliced them down to one wire that went the to AUX terminal on the switch.

I took the converter - switch - and LCD - and spliced them down to one wire, that went to the ground.

The hardest part was pluging the PS1 into the converter, the PS1 had a huge voltage converter and would not fit into the kick panel, so I had to take a 3 foot 220 extention cord cut it down to 6" and to re solder it together.


I don't have sound as of now, I have to still purchase a FM modulator.

I got a question.........

what game is that? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[mcG]

how exactly do you get sound out of there? do you have to tap it into your car speakers?

[CAMAROWITHBASS]

nah you dont have to tap into your speaker wires when you get an FM mod.

It simply has power,ground,2 rcas that you connect to the ps, and a plug that you plug your antenna wire from the radio into the fm mod.

Exactly. I have yet to get one.


It is a Mototcross game, that might be the title too. My screen is showing a cut scene, before a race of some bikers doing extreme jumps.

Glad to see the LCD screen worked out for you Jeff. Enjoy.

The only thing is, I don't like the way an aftermarket HU messes up the continuity of style on the console. I have yet to find one, that is incredible functional that doesn't have fancy dancy dancing multi colored lights, and strange buttons and knobs.
