Found a guy who is selling these mini PC's which you can plug into cigarette lighter coz it has 12v power supply. Its tiny and can fit under the seat. Does anyone know how I would connect it to the ICC to play music, vids etc?

Firstly you need to work out if you'll need a signal converter for the video signal or not. 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.

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.

hey guys,

I've built about 40 of the aopen mini pc's for a customer of mine, and always thought it would be perfect for a carpc. 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?
