    Dear sirs,

    Some people (maybe not many) like to listen to music when the drive. Can make them relax, get them to do endurance races without getting bored.

    They can maybe put this under thier wheel. This way is better because people with 5.1 surround can listen to thier sound of thier engine and listen to music with external speakers so engine noise is separate.

    I know real racing cars do not have MP3/audio head units but maybe for a game like Live for Speed it is okay. (gt5 pro)


    Requirments:

    2 speakers (6ohms) Any car speakers.
    13.8v power supply 15amp: You can buy these for about £40 english pounds.
    Car head unit.

    Hi,

    why so complicated? Just play your favourite mp3 with your mediaplayer, start your game in window mode, so you can use the ingame volume mixer and the windows volumemixer together to find the balance between your mediaplayer mp3 music and the ingame sounds.

    Today, it should not be a problem of cpu power to play a game and listen to a mp3 at the same time.

    Maybe i missunderstood your intention of sugestion?

    regards, RaceRay

    Dear sirs,

    I thought if people had a head unit under thier g25 wheel. Maybe it seem like a real car.

    Novalty factor. Gimmic.
    I know it sounds stupid but some people may like the idea of having a car head unit in thier cockpit.

    Dear sirs,

    I have attached picture. Any head unit fit exactly between two g25 table connectors, which means you can have the head unit flush to g25.

    Kind Regards.
