That sounds like a pretty sweet setup. Definitely try it in home before you install. There's nothing worse then sitting in your car trying to fix errors. My screen is using VGA, I have RCA connections but the resolution would be so bad you wouldn't be able to see anything. The Actual version of XP I have is Pro w/ SP2. I stripped out all of the languages, IE, some of the integrated stuff I would never use in a box made to play media (net meeting etc). My receiver is stock. Actually there isn't anything holding it in to the ez-bake, other then the plastic trim and my psychic abilities. I would most definitely use the 1/8 RCA connection on your HU. If you want to make your own cable (add some finesse and bragging rights) go here DIY Audio Cables . I made my own 90deg. headphone jack to RCA cable for my upgrade and it's pretty sweet.
Good luck on your build. It sounds like it's gonna rock. (keep us posted)

Here are the updated pictures I promised.



New backplate with updated mobo.



I changed the orientation of the box so now the front faces the backseats, and I added a real wire harness.



My center console with the re-sanded and painted bezel. (and my new DIY shift ****, and yes that is a REAL pool ball)
I thought the upgrade turned out great.

You must be a Christian to have such a revival as this.

Yes quite true, but you'd have some sweet high def movies.
