I have a f90bt and i have the ipod cable that uses the systems only set of a/v input cables and usb. I want to hook up a playstation in addition to the ipod but need another set of a/v in cables for the playstation. Should a get a set of splitters or is there another way? looking for something i would havent to manually switch between to go between the ipod and playstation. i just wanna be able to switch between the two on the screen.

sorry if this has been asked already...its an honest question tho and didnt happen to come across anything in my quick lil search. Thanks guys.

Splitters theoretically will work but i remember reading in a thread that splitters did not work. I could be wrong, but I'd dig deep in the hacks/mods section to get the right answer.

I'm still stuck on "playstation in a moving vehicle?" but what about using the front input?

Would you rather an X Box?

I have this in my truck. I hid it where only the IR receiver shows and it works nicely.

Check it out: http://www.amazon.com/1-Out-Selector-Sw ... B000RXVITM

you get 3 y adapter. plug the ipod in 1 in of each, plug the playstation in the other in of the y, plug the out to the f series input

you then can choose ipod , or video on the screen of the avic and switch between ipod or playstation

A wii ? now that would be amusing!

Agreed, a Wii would be pretty bad ass lol

that looks nice. i like the remote function. i saw something similar on ebay except you had to manually switch between each of the inputs on the box itself. might check that out. looks kinda pricey tho

will that work? i know that the avic has like 2 input selector boxes on the screen and right now i have the first one labeled as "ipod". but i wasnt sure if the avic would distingish between 2 different things since their both coming in through the same a/v cables. wouldnt there be conflicting signals? guess that could work if only one was on at a time but i dont wanna have to unplug the ipod in the glove box since it is on all the time just to turn on the playstation.

as far as the playstation/xbox/wii arguement...while i agree that wii would be badass im not trying to get punched while driving haha. im probably gonna mount a ps2 under the passenger seat or under the passenger foot well and switch between that and a ps3.

A simple switch would work good. Radio shack has one 4 in, 1 out. I have the ps2, ipod, sirius backseat tv, and 1 available for future. works great.

C'MON!!! Wear a helmet

I do have to ask though, why even bother with PS2 if you have PS3? PS3 plays PS2 games.

The two models of the PS3 currently in production no longer have backward compatibility with PS2 games.

I have digital television installed with the ipod with a Split...It works fine, but I have a little interference noise when using the unit when the volume is high (40+). If you guys are planning doing this I sugest you to buy a ground loop isolator (US$ 12,00) and install it with the split. It's on my plans for next maintenance.

The only problem is that you need to change the AV preferences every time you want to switch from TV to Ipod and vice versa.

GUGA

I hadn't really given this much thought till now, but since I have an older "larger" PS2, not the newer "slim" design I wanted to ask just in case:

All the power adapters I see for sale say they are only for the "slim" design PS2 - are they any that folks out there know of that will power up an older PS2 through the cigaretter lighter?

I am going to be taking the kids on a trip down to FL this spring, and having the option to have them playing games through the F90 is intriguing.

Cheers,

Kev

lol yea can you imagine pulling up next to me at light. me whereing a helmet and my passenger swinging their arms wildly. im gonna bother with the ps2 caz i plan on mounting it for the long term in there. the ps3 i'll just add for like long trips since i use the ps3 elsewhere. plus its a big unit.

im sure they make a cable for the old one. if not you could just get a power converter that you plug into the cig lighter and has a regular prong input on the other side. or just buy a slim since there like $50 bucks now on ebay. thats what i did. now i have an old one and a slim unfortunately

i got on of the original ps3, the 60gb i believe mine is. im pretty sure mine plays ps2 games. havent tried in a while. but i think thats right that the older ones have the backwards compatiblity and the new ones dont.

Correct 60GB PS3s were the last with full hardware backwards compatibility, some of the later units have bacwards compatibility via software, but not all of them.

Ugh Sony's way too confusing. Get the Wii!! lol
