Connect X50 to car monitor
I have a Kenwood 1707 monitor in my car. It is possible to connect such outside units to it as playstation or navigation units. I would like to be able to connect my X50 to it to use the MP3 player on the X50.

Does any-one know if this is possible?

Thank-you.

I would assume that an in-car LCD would have composite video input.
Meaning, you would need something like this:

http://www.electronicsoutfitter.com/store/gez-1000.html

That would convert the VGA from the x50v to a composite video signal for the car monitor.
Looks to me like that gadget draws it's power from the USB port, so you'd need to splice it into your x50v car charger (if you have one), or buy a cigarette -> USB charger for it to plug into.

Once you have that setup, you'll need a VGA cable for the x50v.
PC Mobile sells one for a good price, as does a duder named chrismax (I think) on these forums.

Then, plug VGA cable into x50v, VGA cable into convertor, convertor into car LCD, and convertor into USB charger. Voila.

I guess I am out of luck as I have an X50 and the VGA cable is only made for the X50v.
