Default What do I need to hook up a TV Screen in my teg?

I am buying a 5 1/4 inch screen. What do I need to get to hook it up?

Also is there anything I can do to hook it up to a cd player and get it to be a display for the cd player?

you need a dvd player, and a h/u that has an aux input would be the best/easiest way to do it. and possiblly a power inverter depending on what kind of dvd player you get.

is it an indash? or a house dvd player. If its one that goes in a house you need a 115V power source so you need a power inverter.

Target, Walmart, Miejer ect will have an inverter. You only need it if you are using a home dvd player, but they totally shut off when the car is off, so you lose your spot. You might want to purchase a car DVD player so that you don't lose your spot, cuz that sucks when crusin round town.

I have an Xbox in my car, but I can deal with the inverter.

Here's my set up i have the inverter mounted under the false floor. I just grounded it in the trunk and hooked up the power to the wire on the back of the cig lighter so it only comes on when the ignition is on.
