It only charges when the key is in the ACC position. This way if I forget to turn the carputer off, it won't kill the cars battery.<div class='bbimg'></div>The power supply is a 300Watt 12Volt unit from here 300W PSUYou can just see it under the carpet in the top / left corner of the boot. (first photo in the first post)where you have installed the computerI currently have the box sitting on the carpet in my boot (first photo in the first post) because it is running quite hot, but I built it as small as possible so I can put it inside the spare tire under the carpet (temperature allowing).what your interface isI currently have a NVidia Geforce 4 Video card, but after receiving some information from Hedsex regarding the Arcade VGA Video Card, I have ordered one of these and it will be much better....no more playing with video card settings.Panda Edited 28/06/06 09:16 AM by Panda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I had a look at them but didn't want to be limited by power so I got a 300W PSU (link in the previous thread)...Everything you would want is at www.mp3car.com's forumsbeen a member for a while now...Ohh, and just so you know, I am also able to convert the Ford ICC to touchscreen I plan to put a touchscreen overlay over the top of the factory screen, only about $180 from HERE<div class='bbimg'></div>Panda Edited 28/06/06 09:25 AM by Panda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On initial checking that website, I expected there was other sizes.. but yeah, the one I used width was perfect, height was bigger, but hidden behind..Althought, the IR Reciever above needs "modification" for it to fit.Danny.
