For those who missed the quick demo of my CarPC at the Half Way House on Thursday, here are a couple of recently taken pictures.









I'm sure this is a mod that Tiny or Phil won't be interested in.......................then again !!!!

yeah I thought about that, not sure if the screens are as good, they seem a little smaller, and I don't think the build quality is as good

I thought that as well mate, though was talking to Tissy earlier, my scoob isn't garaged, and if the thieving scumbags saw a nice shiny double din screen, the car will be wrecked, so losing some resolution might be ok

rhybeck - Pimp my ride.........my God !! I can gladly say that i have not based my design or indeed influenced by anything aired on this programme. This is a one off self designed system. Having been an electronics engineer in a previous life, this is where i got the inspiration. We will talk of this programme no more

Anyhow.....thanks for the feedback guys, much appriciated.

TINY - We really really need to talk If your LCD screen is already touchscreen which has the necessary inputs etc to take a PC, then you will save quite a few pounds. However, i'd image the touchscreen is for the operating system that Kenwood use for their headunit, ie built in. PM / email me the model number etc and i will tell you if it'll be compatible.

There are still other software additions on the pipeline. ie Live GPS tracking, front camera video recording with speed trace overlay etc etc. The live GPS tracking will enable you to log onto a web site which will display a map and locate the exact position of your car. Similar to Tracker, but what the owner of the car can use. As the hardware is in, the software possibilities are endless

Any other questions guys, fire away !!
