Hey.. I have conflicting information about the possiblilties of hooking up an 'external hard-drive' to a 'in-car dvd/cd/mp3/tv head unit'.

I have a 'Pioneer AVH-P7500 Car DVD Player' and was wondering if it was possible, if anyone has done it?! ..or heard of it?

The aim is to have a 100gb (or more) external hard drive full of music video clips, and have the DVD player play from it. Can it be done? hmmm..

:confused:

possible, but very difficult even for the expert in electronics and probably not worth your money.

think its possible...
u can buy a thing called an Izak. u hook ur izak up to tv's via rca and play ur media files off it. im guessing u can plug ur izak to ur car monitor n do it the same way. Ebays your friend in findin one
