Hi.

Okay, i'm seventeen, and am in the process of getting my first car.

A 5-speed 2003 pontiac sunfire le sport.

Now, i'm looking to rig up some sort of mobile entertainment system as a step into car audio. This is all that permits with my current funds.

I'd like to know if my crazy plan here will work. I'm quite keen on eBay as a source for cheap[er] products when it comes to anything, but I have found all of my equipment off eBay as well.

So i'd like you experts to look this over and tell me if it has a high hope in hell to work.





First of all, i need a power source, so i will be using a 3 way 12 volt car cigarette power adapter splitter

eBay/non-Ebay

And because the sunfire doesn't come with auxiliary-in, i'll be buying an auxiliary audio adapter because I will probably never use the car's radio ( radio is ick and mainstream ) or CD player.

The PIE GM12-AUXv2 seems to be the only choice when it comes to this... its compatability with the '03 sunfire i'm buying i'm not sure of, but this is all hypothetical.

I might need a dual female rca to 3.5mm cord, but those aren't hard to find at all.

to this will be wired an external HDD/media player, NOT a PMP. External HDD/media players are more practical for my cause, and also easier on the pocket.

eBay ( 160 gigs )
non-eBay ( 80 gigs )

If I go with the latter, I will need a 12 volt dc to 5 volt ac power adapter which, again, is not thafficult to find.

And because i'll need some sort of GUI/navigation for this, i'll need an in-car moniter.

If I get the latter, I might use one video input with a pseudo-backup camera... that is, a camera mounted facing backwards on the dash or ceiling.

All of these being powered by the cigarette adapter.

Thoughts?

Could this work?
