    Is it possible to convert the screeen that usually displays gas mileage and temperature settings into something that you could possibly plug in portable dvd players and other things? Also, in the back of the screen is there an av jack?

    Thank you :D I hope they aren't that expensive because personally I could care less about how much mileage I get.

    After you have been driving it for some time you already get a good indicator at how much mileage you get. I already know I average around 45 mpg so I'm completely ready to convert the display moniter into something a tad more usefull to my passenger.

    Keep in mind that it is usually illegal to view movies from the front seat in a moving car.

    If that passenger is in the front seat, it's still illegal. :)
