Default In-dash monitor for carpc Complete!

Made it completely myself, it has touch screen, and sound will now be played through the aftermarket deck in the glove box. I have a 1ghz pc with 60 gig hard drive in the trunk which will provide Internet access, gps, rear view camera, tv, and much more - looking forward to getting it done.

this was a big hurdle for me, i have lots of hours into this thing.
Big thanks to the Awesome GF for her help

Default Give this a shot, I think it's nice. You can sync with your existing GPS.

Default I am running Centrafuse Software

I am running Centrafuse on the car.
GPS and Internet is already installed and working with Centrafuse - i just have to hook everything up!

check out this software... its really awesome - and they make an MMI Skin for it - so it really looks OEM.

i still have to hook up the monitor and the deck to get the sound and etc working with the whole dealy... oh, and Pioneer makes this accessory that you can hook up stock steering wheel controls to an aftermarket deck - so i will be installing that in the near future as well.

Thanks for the comments
Your system was definitely an inspiration!!!<ul><li><a href="http://www.fluxmedia.net/">http://www.fluxmedia.net/</a</li></ul>

Default very impressive and Tozo I am going foward with the sound via the existing amp

thanks for the inspiration.
I did the cableing today and have the rear screen mounted so will only have to remount the origanol head unit under the driver side dash to make room for the folding screen in dash.
I am going to put in a usb hub and av hub for easy access.
A good wireless mouse and a small keyboard are next on the hit list.
