Default TrackPad USB in the front arm.. a Carputer enviroment project

Hi to all.
I have posted some detailed tutorial relatively at the installation of a Cirque TouchPad on an Audi A6 C5.
I think it is interesting to anyone would install a carputer on your car.
The tutorials are in italy language, but the many photo present on this tutorials is surely helped to make yourself the work.

If interested, there is another tutorial, in the same area, that show the installation of ambience light LED in the rear internal light of the car.

http://audirs.forumfree.net/?t=14179507

And here the tutorial for the installation of the HomeLink switch aftermarket in the front Light spot.
This because i think that the original switch in the A6 is not a good estetic installation. Seem to be a piggybag... mhmm.. no good.

Best regards to all friends here.

Default You can control a Carputer... in security.

And when you parking your car, the trackpad can disappear to hungry eyes...

Default for information and ideas only

A carputer, made with a PC or Mac Hardware, is used by many fans to see information on the roads (if connected to a cellular phone or via WiFi network), or to drive help with a GPS cartography software, to ear music in conjunction with the OEM sound system or to see movies.
If you install a PC in a car, you can make the diagnosis in real time via Vag, (obviusly).
I know that maniac as me there is only one, or two...
The intention of my post is to share with friends my solutions in A6 mod.
Only this.

Default Well done...very slick. You could route the CarPC display into the RNSE..but then you'd need..

...to convert the SVGA output of the CarPC into something that the RNSE can translate.

Default actually, it's easier than you think

I develop embedded systems as part of what I do for a day job, alot of the small form factor pc's/motherboards include video output on the board. I though about this too, check alot of the mini and nano itx boards...most have video out, there's another company: www.synertrontech.com, I think, that makes some nice, passively cooled systems with video out.

the old up with me is that to get something small, it costs more than it's worth to me, but I'd be doing touch screens instead of track pads.
