carputer installed everything is done except for the 4 channel amp hooked up and the case needs to be mounted somewhere good

 

very cool, I was going to do that but instead bought Archos av500 to watch movies and listen to music.

 

nice job

 

wowwwwwwww.......

 

Why not get a thumb mouse instead of the one you have? Seems it would make more sense in a car.

Is that a seat buckle?

 

Looks promising, but what about heater controls? And personally, I'd use a rollerball mouse

Btw, using silver wire for power is NOT a good idea.

 

thanks, i havent done the heater controls yet, its going to be mounted in the glove box with a fiberglass cover i dont care if i dont have a functional glovebox.
LOL of course that is not the mouse im using, that was only temporary to make the program installs easier. The screen is touchscreen so i am not going to be using a mouse at all for day to day activities. For the keyboard im going to be using an on screen keyboard.
thanks again

Sure. It is commonplace for RED to be power and SILVER to be ground.

If you look at his picture again you would notice he has both silver AND red power cables which is asking for trouble. Imho it would be far too easy to mix things up and short something

I've never associated silver with ground... Black, maybe, but never silver...

 

nice setup!

ive been toying with the idea, using my laptop as the computer...

it really dosnt matter what color wire you use. As long as you know what wire is what. I got black wire going from my fuse box to my batteries in the trunk and a green wire as my ground. It looks better then having a red wire going all the way back.

But good job with the computer. where did you get the computer from?

 

what did you use to mold that bezel to your dash?
have you hook up the sound yet? if so, any issues with distortion / alternator wine?


sweet setup, looks good

Probably what the rest of the world uses... Fiberglass then body filler of some kind...

 

Alright... Maybe I'm missing it, but what's the deal with the seatbelt???

 

very nice job, the seats are sick! What part of philly are you from? I live like 15 mins out of center
