My family trips are delayed up to 36 hours a week, so that my family would not get bored, I decided to install a TV monitor in the car and connect the Xbox.
Step 1: Monitor Stand
To make the stand, I used a metal rod that had been lying in my yard for a long time. How to determine the length? Inside the machine, the rod should be located at least 7 inches from both door handles.
Step 2: Straighten the ends of the metal bar
To flatten the ends of the rod, you need something like a sledgehammer. The ends should be as flat as possible so that they can subsequently be easier to bend.
Step 3: bend the rod
Next, the rod needs to be bent around something, the diameter of which resembles the handle of your car. I used a two-inch aluminum pipe for this purpose.
Step 4: checking the stand
In order not to scratch or damage auto When testing, I used a sponge that I wrapped around the handles.
Step 5: Find out which screws / screws your TV has
My TV was screwed in size 3 by 3 inches.
Step 6: Find What to Fix the TV to
To hang the TV, I used a square frame from a broken metal chair that was lying in my yard.
Step 7: Disconnect the desired part from the chair
We need to grind the tips off the legs and the part we need will fall off.
Step 8: Attach the Square Tube to the Main Stand
Mark with a marker how much the main stand (rod) protrudes in comparison with a square pipe (the former leg of the chair), then you need to grind out the unnecessary using a grinding machine.
Step 9: Drill a hole in a square pipe
Drill a hole in a square pipe, but until you drill a hole in a metal rod. The holes must match, so before drilling you need to measure exactly where the hole appears in the rod.
Step 10: Drill the screw holes from the TV monitor
You now have a TV stand. In the middle of the rod and above it, drill holes into which you then screw the screws.
Step 11: fasten the square tube to the TV
Place a small piece of rubber between the TV and the pipe. Take 4 bolts and lock washers, which can be bought at any specialized hardware store. You also need to drill a hole in the metal bar and bolt the square pipe with bolts.
Step 12: Power Supply
You need to add the power in watts of your TV and the connected device, in my case, the TV has a power of 45, and the Xbox 145. It turns out 190. You need to buy an inverter that exceeds the power received by the number. If the total power is more than 80 watts, then you will need a power strip or socket that can withstand such power, as conventional filters can withstand no more than 80 watts.
Step 13: Attach the Socket
I used a 12 mm thick wire that works great with the inverter. Next, I made a small hole in the rubber outlet and placed it behind the center panel, and then connected the inverter to it.
Step 14: Done!
It took me about 15 minutes to set up the console for watching movies and games. I hope someone will find my project interesting and useful.
