So I havent gotten my GPS reciever yet for my PSP. but I intend to make it into a GPS unit. here is a suctioncup mount I bought on clearance at Target for 10 bucks. a little annoyed that the design doesnt accomodate screen covers.

I have a skin tight polycarbonate shell that clips to the front of the psp. but with the way that holder is designed, it interferes with the screen cover. the one good thing is that it wont interfere with the gsp reciever which plugs into the top of the psp. They should have designed the holder like the back of a BROADWAY mirror. with telescoping arms.

anyway I also have an uglhy wire to hook it up to my aux and I can watch psp movies. haha

 

Haha cool! I didnt know you can make PSPs into GPS?? I plan on getting a mount similar to that for my iPhone..

 

Can you please give more info about the PSP = GPS?

I'm currently using TomTom on my P990 but would glady replace it with my PSP!!

Thanks!

 

sure. you sorta need to be savy with hacking your PSP.

Watch this and learn
YouTube - MUST READ VID DESCRIPTION psp-290 how to install GPS on psp

 

X2!! I want to do that!!! More info please. Program?

 

look at the post right above yours. I posted a link to a youtube video. but it requires hacking your PSP with software.

 

so....we have to upgrade to the 3.30 or 3.40 firmware on the PSP in order to use that? you cant use it on older firmwares?

 

nope and it has to be a particular OE (open end) custom firmware. However the OE firmwares are a hybrid. im running 3.10 OE so i can still play the 1.5 ver homebrew stuff and play playstation one games like granturismo.

 

wow that's pretty slick. I didn't know you could do that with a PSP. Good stuff, nice job.

 

Hey I like were you mounted your psp and that you got the mounting bracket for 10bux! I might have to check out target for one since I have the gps unit for my psp as well. I just got the gps and its awsome! Although it takes awhile to lock onto a sat. but thats alright. Here some shots of mine

 

I was thinking of these mounting
Mounts for Sony PSP | PSP Car Mount | Sony PSP Holder
or this one

I was looking at the Arkon Kit and it looks like it will interfer with the GPS unit.
Im not sure how I want to mount my psp yet but I prefer a dash mount or somewhere were I can keep it charged. Target & Circuit City so far has good cheap mounts that wont interfer with the GPS unit when mounted.

Target : Psyclone Car Kit for PlayStation Portable

 

too bad there is not something like this for ipod video some kind of attachment or something

 

that is exactly what I got.

 

Will this kit be able to mount on the the dash or is it only for window?

 

You can mount it to the front window and have it hang right above the dash. but the dash has those dimples which makes it impossible to suction cup to it. You could use mounting tape I suppose but I prefer not to have anything permanent to my dash

 

has anybody else done the gps psp thing? so is 3.10 oe firmware the one to use and do you know where i can download it? also, other than the gps add on, is everything else free? (maps, firmware, etc...)... any additional info would help, i am this close to ordering the gps add on unit. o yeah.. once its done, can you still play umd movies and games? thanks.

 

Go to the top and check out the Youtube link, if you watch the video it is step by step and on the side where there is information if you click on more it gives you all the links you need to download.

 

any idea if it will work with the 3.71 firmware?? Or should i downgrade back to 3.10??

 

Is your firmware custom or original sony?
