CAN I USE MY XBOX TO IN MY CAR ????
Posted: Sat Sep 01, 2007 7:51 am
Hi All,
firstly my computer knowledge is very limited so those of you who offer me advice please be patient with me.
i have bought a japanese import car.
it is equiped with satnav and apparently a TV although i have not managed to view this.
First problem is all the text that comes up on the screen is in Japanese, so you cant understand anything.
under the passenger seat is a DVD player thingy for which i was given 3 very poor condition discs when i bought it. the player will take the discs when inserted but it doesn't acctually seem to do anything with them, (this could be due to the poor condition of them).
I have had trouble finding discs In english to replace the ones i have in an attempt to iron this one out.
someone has told me that I can convert an xbox, control it from the in dash screen and use it to run a GPS programme of satnav software in place of the DVD player thing under the seat. He suggested using something called Linux, I dont have a clue what this is or if it would be going the wrong way about fixing it.
as i already have an Xbox it seems like a good idea.
any help would be greatly apprieciated regarding sourcing discs or converting my Xbox.
Many thanks
