Its tiny and can fit under the seat. Does anyone know how I would connect it to the ICC to play music, vids etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Here since the start...

The ICC is NTSC RGB.You might need to make up a cable to connect to the ICC for the video feed. It's easy to do.Then you'll need the AUX Booster Kit from Ford (or others) for the audio.

Thanks BFHOON LTSBGY, what are these 'mini pc' you are talking about? Are they just a micro atx PC? Got a link? Adding to what adam said you will also need to think about power to the unit. Does it have a startup/shutdown controler etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has an external ac/dc power supply (similar to a laptop) so technically it could be wired in for power, assuming the amp's are there (haven't got one in front of me so not sure of the v's and a's).It has DVI out only with a DVI->VGA converter. Not sure what format it outputs though. What do you think?http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/show_product_info.php?input[product_code]=AL-MP945-D-CMB-DRV&input[category_id]= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest newl Guests Posted 25/07/07 03:07 AM Share Posted 25/07/07 03:07 AM Every time I skim this thread or one related, I always think of these little guys. There's another one that is escaping me at the moment. Maybe it'll come to me.MicroClient and MicroClient Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest newl Guests Posted 26/07/07 09:05 AM Share Posted 26/07/07 09:05 AM I suppose if you guys wanted to go even smaller, you could look at the mini ITX boards too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
