Yup. Maybe one of the ones that kinda flip out from a normal (seeming) cd deck unit. I haven't decided yet. I have a friend who put a screen in without having to tear apart his dash. He's gonna take me to the stereo place he got his from.

that would be awesome, you might be able to mount the ps2 under the pass seat.. maybe, or in the glove box, either or good luck

if you get the indash, it would be easier b/c you'll have your cd/dvd/stereo all in one. I've got an indash in my car but don't really want to put a PS2 in there. But for your car, I suggest making a shelf that can be mounted under the glove box.

I have a while to plan this out. I'm a little low on cash at the moment, and I'm saving for Corvette Z06 wheels, too. I'd like to put it in the glove box if i can get it to fit.

How would I build a shelf under the glove box???

just get some L-brackets and a board to place the PS2 on and mount it under the dash. Kinda like this -> [__]

Nah not really. I've kinda changed my mind actually. Now i think i'm gonna install a dvd player and run AV cables and make a plug in on the back of the arm rest console so i can hook up anything I want.

Not a flame by any means, but why would you put one in there other than the fact that you want one? Your not going to play it while your going down the road are you? And you aren't going to sit in the car for playing it when you get bored are you?

I like to drive. And I like to drive my friends around. And prefer to drive on road trips. I think it would be REALLY cool for my boyfriend to have something to do while I'm driving. And at work, lunch breaks can get pretty boring. It would be nice to have something fun to do for an hour.

I can understand that. It all depends on what space you are willing to give up and how much money you want to spend will determine how well the PS2 will flush with your interior

Alot of competitors have them so they don't just have to sit and wait at soundoffs.

I fully agree with PaulN64 on this one as well .
