Exclamation Anyone play games in your GX?

Im pretty sure im not the only one who notices that when you hook up your ps2 (or whatever console you own) to the inputs at the rear, the front screen cant display it.

There has to be a way to connect the rear rca inputs to the front screen.

** and i've bypassed the dvd safety feature also, so it's not that **

Well, just looking at this logically (although I know with car design that is not always the way for the smart money to bet):

In my home system, I have a DVD player. I can set that DVD player to input to my televsion, and watch the DVD on the TV. Likewise, at the same time I can attach wires from the DVD player to output to other devices, such as a VCR recorder or another TV or monitor. I have no problem watching from the DVD player to two screens.

Leaving this setup as is, I can take a video game player, movie camera, etc. and plug it directly into my TV. The TV will show the video game, but the additional monitor will not; it has no idea what information I am feeding the TV directly.

To make life more complicated, I can even feed the audio from both devices into my surround sound stereo system, so it will play both the DVD and game system audio. So if I turn off the TV, I can listen to the game system on the stereo and can't see it. (Yes, I actually have all kinds of weird setups on my TV - I'm the only one that can use it for most stuff).

So, I am guessing that the DVD player in the GX outputs to both screens, but the analog inputs for other external devices just feed into the back monitor.

play games? All the time, we play the license plate game first one to 50 points, double letters count as 2 points you have to go thru the whole alphbet. let's see, we also play hide and go seek with our youngest daughter when she's in her seat. We play all kinds of game, we've even played catch with a tennis ball when the light turns red you have to toss the ball before the light turns green like hot potato...

J/K

Haven't hooked the Xbox yet, the only thing we play is the controller that came with the truck i guess with games loaded on that. thats all we play. But if you figure it out, by all means let me know.

Does the AC power source in the back of GX have enough juice to power an Xbox 360?
