That money can get you a decent DVD player with a couple of inputs and 3 outputs, that plays MP3s and VCDs, all controllable conventionally like a standard head unit. I can't see the advantage of getting a PC installed in your car with a complicated way of controlling it. I'm not putting your development down at all, just wondering what the main adantage is of having this system over a head unit which can do the same stuff but easier?←aftermarket gps, OBDII display, ie fuel, timing, rpm all in gauge format ala Nissan GTR. Stand alone head unit will not do the add ons a carputer will.Me, I just mount my PDA in the car. It has a good screen, plays everything from MP3 to VCD, Xvid and DVD, GPS and is usable in other cars. No wank value, that's all.. I think it's a good idea.

It's commonplace in the stated, but getting one for the Australian Fords is a bit harder.Panda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I think it would look cool.My power supply and Graphics cards will be with me in 2 week so ill be able to have so in car pics by then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

Everyone can do generic, but we will need the enhanced PIDs to display the turbo and specific error codes.I also like the idea of the second dashtop gauge set, having some details on the main ICC and the most important on the dashtop would be a great solution.
