Hey guys have recently started to do the install for a few more uses for FG premo colour screen.

Currently I have an Xbox 360 installed, install was super easy and took about an hour, I use my phone as a wireless hotspot and I can play CoD anywhere where I have 3G reception.

While I had the interior apart I thought stuff it I'll install the video out from my Samsung Android as well. On the samsung I use a program called Torque, its a simple OBDII reader with some cool features and nice looking front ends. Torque also has a track recorder that allows me to record HD video going through the twistys while overlaying OBDII info such as speed, rpm and boost. You can also overlay a map from google maps as well. Its handy because going through the twistys you cant really look and see how your car is going, but with this you can play back the video and see exactly where you were and know all the info from your car at that time.

ok back to the point... currently working on an i7 based in car computer that will run Windows 7 Media Center so I can use a remote on a really simple GUI layout, I have done touch screens in the past but find them hard to use while driving.

once this is done I can remove the phone input and run all the OBD stuff from the computer, so the final install will be car conputer running bla bla bla all the usual crap and the 360 for kickass gaming.

Photos and an install guide to come if anybody wants them.

All of it is made possible by the ASL FG500 module.

Also a quick question for the tech heads out there, quite simply the Xbox 360 only allows PAL output, the ASL module only likes NTSC. does anybody know of a cheap converter module or any other way to get around this? The xbox is currently running fine in black and white until I get over this PAL/NTSC issue.

yep US XBOX is NTSC, but then my AUS PAL games wont play on it.

yer I cant really play while driving, the other day my little boy was playing xbox and he had to turn it off cause we were going out, once we got in the car he asked why he couldn't play the xbox in the car... and I thought well why not

Here are some pics, unfortunately its really hard to take pics while driving between Geelong and Ballarat on that joke they call a road but you get the idea.

make sure you get the torque track recorder from the plugins menu, its also on Android Market.

If anyone wants an install guide for the ASL module, the phone stuff or the Xbox let me know and I'll put one up
