Ford: Convert VCR to DVD Player

    Convert VCR to DVD Player

    I just bought a 2003 Ford Windstar SEL that comes with the VCR player.
    I was a little disappointed that they didn't offer the DVD player,
    though, because most of my little guy's movies are on DVD now. My
    question is, seeing as I should be able to plug in the Xbox into the
    system and play games, should I not be able to use the Xbox to watch a
    DVD?

    Kimmal opined in news:google.com:

    {I'm ignoring the first part because the reasons WHY will become probably
    self-evident once you try to watch DVD's in the car.}

     

    1. Do you have an Xbox?

    2. Is there a place to plug in an Xbox?

    3. Will the Xbox play DVD?

    I dont understand the question if there is one..

    Howdy from a fellow new SEL owner! The short answer is, as long as
    your Xbox has the right video outputs into the auxilliary video input
    jacks on the base of the center console, and you get an inverter to
    convert the power port to AC for the Xbox, I think this should work
    fine, as should any standard DVD player. One caveat: you may want to
    research vulnerable the Xbox is to vibrations, both in terms of DVD
    skipping and generally holding up, as well as to temperature extremes
    if you'll be leaving the Xbox in the car for any length of time when
    you're not driving. {Jonathan, whose VCP is defective, and who is
    getting a new player on Thursday}

    You might want to check to see if your XBox plays DVD's. The Playstation II
    does.

    Obviously you've never travelled with a 2 year old.

    You can get a portable DVD player if you want to watch DVD's in the car if
    you don't want to bother installing a DVD player in your vehicle. The DVD
    player and LCD screen is essential for any passengers in the back seat of
    your vehicle. Children nowadays can't stand long trips and the only way to
    avoid the "are we there, yet?" routine is to get a DVD player installed in
    your vehicle. You may want to try www.crutchfield.com to see what CD/DVD
    players and LCD screens fits in your vehicle if the auto makers doesn't
    offer DVD players for your vehicle.

    Your are out of your mind!
    Video doesn't belong in your vehical.
    When kids start whining, turn off the AC. They used to travel in horse drawn
    carts and didn't need TV or Gameboys or Nintendo. Books don't help nowadays.
    (cause kids don't know how to read.) The reason they wear them stupid, baggy
    flood pants is cause they are overweight from watching TV and eating junk food.

    Are you out of your mind?!!!! That's like saying CD's, audio cassettes
    or a stereo doesn't belong in your vehicles. How can anyone today enjoy a
    long trip without music or videos? HUH? You probably never had kids, a niece
    or a nephew yourself. This is NOT the 19th century or early 20th century!
    People today don't enjoy riding in horse drawn carriages as much. You're
    from the early 20th century, we don't need you anymore.
