[plug] Car MP3

Hi,
I am looking at installing an 'mp3' into my car.  I have an oldish box
that seems a likely candidate for being `the brains'.  What I need is some
kinda display, obviously a monitor is too bulky (not to mention the power
consumption factor) so I am hoping to use some kinda LCD screen or
similar.  Has anyone dealt with this kinda stuff before and hence might be
able to point me in the right direction.  I am currently studying elect
eng at curtin so I have _some_ idea of the theory, but a little practicle
know-how never goes astray.

Also, how would one go about powering the box from the cars electrical
system?

Thanks in advance for any help,
   David

PS.  Those that wish to question the 'off-topic' nature of this post can
rest assured that the box will be running nothing but linux inside any
vehicle of mine :)
