I would love to know that too. It looks factory like you said. Very nice.

Wow tons of questions, some I think I answered but I will try to be more explicit.

1. Screen was cnc machined by a local shop, painted by an autobody shop. It mounts to the factory holes where the stock radio mounts.

2. As I said before it runs Windows XP Home edition. I have it running on a Dell d400 laptop. This allows me to wifi/sync. I can also remove the dell from the docking station to bring it inside.

3. Startup controller. I made my own system using a relay, power inverter etc.



BTW The screen/bezel and entire system is for sale if anyone is interested. If you are local or want to fly me out I will help you install it.

Ohhh ohhh ohhh, do you have any pictures of the machined screen mount? My cousin is a machinist!

HackAbuse

how much do you want for just the screen / bezel

fastfreddy7

I ll pay 50 over what ever hackabuse offers!

HackAbuse

I'll trade you a laptop for that screen and bezel

2.8ghz pentium 4
1 gig pc3200 RAM
40 gig HD
128 MB video (ATI)
CD-RW / DVD-ROM

it needs a new ribbon cable for the power button, besides that, its got brand new components, new motherboard, processor, hard drive, and screen.

Crazy, I ve got that exact same laptop with a new ribbon cable for the power button plus a 50 $, how strange...

I'd like to know how you hooked it up to the steering wheel controls.

Well it looks like the car sold on ebay. I have for sale the entire carputer for $1200 plus I will help install it in your car. Also would be willing to take $500 for the screen/bezel.

fastfreddy7

So you dont have any pictures of the machined screen mount?

Registered on mp3car.com and started reading up. Pretty interesting stuff. Would definitely like some behind the scenes pics of your setup if you dont mind. I suppose it would have to wait until after you sell it though.

fastfreddy7

I ll be starting my carputer project as soon as i get my tax return, so I guess I will definitly have to do a build log.
