As you have listed... Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/46399-interface-with-car-pc-using-icc-screen/#findComment-689553 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogan393 Member 77 Member For: 18y 10m 6d Posted 08/06/08 04:39 AM Share Posted 08/06/08 04:39 AM I had usb touchpad, the same as found on laptops, mounted next to my steeringwheel and a mini usb keyboard. I ended up cracking the sh*ts with it and just went for a simple dvd player running through the screen.

Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 22y 4d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 08/06/08 04:47 AM Share Posted 08/06/08 04:47 AM I've used a wireless mouse which was very easy to use and now I'm trialling a touch pad.A stand alone dvd player doesn't suit my needs. Music and satav is what I use mine for mostly.

Just need to find one that fits and is easy enough to install Thanks.Greenie Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/46399-interface-with-car-pc-using-icc-screen/#findComment-690934 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get what you pay for with these things.
