It is possible he has an older or very specific video card with a DVI-I out port which will allow this type of behavior, but it would not be small enough for the center console.

Wow.....what an amazing mod. Am I the only one who wishes we had real-time weather/radar on our Nav systems like Acuras do? That's nice work....just gotta finish the trim around the unit...I guess you'd need custom air vents.
