Lloyd Banks On Fire
I am still doing more modifications. In fact this truck will continue to be a work in progress.
My video setup is one of the hardest to maintain . My first setup got burnt in my truck, the second got stolen and since then I have been getting new ideas and addind newer and larger monitors - oh and I do have protection from thieves and the odds of me getting my second truck burnt are very slim.
At this point I have lost count of how many phases the video aspect of my project has gone through - from a 5" monitor to a 9", 7" with touchscreen , and a couple of 6.5" in headrests.
As of now I have a Panasonic DVD player with a 9" monitor and an AUX input on the dash so I do not have to go to the back of the truck to put movies in the DVD+/-RW drive.
I also have a Lilliput 7" touchscreen molded into the dash. This is the center of my video setup because it has 3 video inputs one of which is a VGA input that allows me to connect my computer using the VGA card for optimal resolution.The other 2 inputs I connected to the dvd player and the rear view camera. Right now I am also in the process of adding 2 more cameras to my side mirrors. This is more for the cool factor but it is also useful at night. This is because I have Aerovisors( extra wide ventvisors - approx. 5" wide )on my windows and they make seeing out of my side mirors very hard at night.

I also bought a GM Onstar mirror. I gutted the mirror and will be installing a 3" LCD to work with my rear view camera and side mirror cameras.
Now to my side mirror cameras. This is one of the few things that I have that very few have thought about putting on their vehicles. I decided functionality was more important than style. I had to choose between a color camera or an infrared one. As you may know the infrared ones are black and white and the only ones I've seen that combines both color and infrared were very bulky and I needed to see at night so I went with the infrared cameras. Later if I can find a small color infraded camera, I'll switch.
Lastly I installed 2 Jensen monitors in the back of my hearests for the back seat passengers visual pleasure.
