R6_ Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Thought I'd share my CarPC with you all as a lot of help has come from searching/reading this forum.. Setup is as follows: - Toshiba M100 Laptop with BT, Wifi etc - Xenarc 700 Touch screen - For aux in using a Clarion IPOD 1251B ce-net interace with a PIE CE-NET Aux adapter. - Roadrunner software used as frontend menu - USB analogue/digital tv tuner - GPS via mapmonkey & destinator maps. Laptop is located under drivers seat with docking station so its easy to insert/takeout. Screen auto powers on when it recieves a signal. Pretty happy with the setup at the moment. However the ToDo's: - Antenna for the USB Digital/Analogue TV Tuner - Wire an external power button to the Docking Station so I can easily power it on. http://members.optusnet.com.au/troyjl/carpc/DSC00838A.JPG http://members.optusnet.com.au/troyjl/carpc/DSC00839A.JPG http://members.optusnet.com.au/troyjl/carpc/DSC00840A.JPG Hi Res Pics http://members.optusnet.com.au/troyjl/carpc/DSC00838.JPG http://members.optusnet.com.au/troyjl/carpc/DSC00839.JPG http://members.optusnet.com.au/troyjl/carpc/DSC00840.JPG Other Pics http://members.optusnet.com.au/troyjl/carpc/DSC00820.JPG http://members.optusnet.com.au/troyjl/carpc/DSC00771.JPG http://members.optusnet.com.au/troyjl/carpc/DSC00768.JPG http://members.optusnet.com.au/troyjl/carpc/DSC00769.JPG http://members.optusnet.com.au/troyjl/carpc/DSC00770.JPG How she used to look. http://members.optusnet.com.au/troyjl/carpc/DSC00038.JPG http://members.optusnet.com.au/troyjl/carpc/DSC00036.JPG http://members.optusnet.com.au/troyjl/carpc/DSC00035.JPG http://members.optusnet.com.au/troyjl/carpc/DSC00026.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Issues with screen readability in sun light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R6_ Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 Issues with screen readability in sun light? Its not too bad. Direct sunlight is hard to see but with the sunroof cover closed its fine. Only thing is playing videos during a bright sunny day I reckon wont be that viewable. But its been raining for a few days down here in sydney australia so I aint had a chance to test it in the sunlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
