30 grand is now excessive -that is more than the car listed as new. I spent some money myself. Enough to make me question my intellect.

If you are so overwhelmingly generous...explain it here so everyone can benefit.

someone should sticky this thread

On NASIOC they said i can do this with the newest test version of Enginuity. Just run the logger.bat file. But who can send it to me ?

Yo Seb...go back to the first posts. I attached pix. pix dissapeared. they are off-road only, genuine shit and came in individual sealed boxes.

Quick question - surely addressed before...so go ahead and kill the n00b. I would like to start the DATA LOGGER in ENGINUITY directly - without going thru the main screen then clicking the Logger shortcut. I have a car pc installed in my car and I love the "dashboard" one of the better ones out there - and there's no need for ELM scan and other tools. I can embed ENginuity in Centrafuse (my front end software) with no problems, but it would be awesome if my touchscreen shortcut tok me directly to the data logger. Any way of doing that ? Thanks.

You are an exception. I know the NASIOC crowd has 2 more FXTs and that is the extent of my knowledge...now 4 FXT strong.

That was me. You had the roof bars. I remember. Rarely see an Forester guy friendly with the rest of turbo Subarus. Glad you are one of the boys. Please join us in the club and at our meetings. BTW you need to tint those fronts.

Man...if you go back to the beginning of this thread, I have all the detailed pix. His design and mine are very similar.

Well I made it thru a hot summer. Let me see what winter brings. I could live with replacing the hard drive once a year but yes...i would switch to a flash memory at least for the operating system.

straight up from here http://subicarpc.bravehost.com/ Dude this is getting insane. Do you guys know I have 3 pictures of MY car displayed in google when you search 2005 Subaru Legacy GT ?

I am happy with my Carnetix PSU (1900 series I believe). Can be upgraded to have a 12 V, a 19 V and a 5 V output (separately) for up to 165 Watt (I think). I am "using" half. But the higher the wattage, the cooler it will run. I would always try and calculate (ex. laptop runs at 19 V x 3.5 Amps + monitor 12V x 2.0 Amps + USB Hub 5 V x 1.5 Amps = 98 Watts. A 100 W would be insufficient. A 120 W would be cutting close. A 150 W would be ok)

Guys, you all suck when it comes to HD. You should have picked a 60 Gb hard drive like me ! My hole shit is running off a laptop which is mounted vertically thus the reading needle isn't tapping on the hard drive when going over bumps. And the laptop is encased in a ...case with foam all around. Ghetto...but does the job.

BMAC; is the new IG4 worth the upgrade ? Besides reading street names and some more POIs, what else is there ? Can one use the plugin made by the folks on mp3 car dot com with the new version. Last I checked, it was not working. Right now I am using that plugin with IG3 and I am unwilling to change a setup that works well.

1) Jazzy Board - has its own topic, easier on 07 and newer since they got an aux-in already 2) front end software like Centrafuse and Streetdeck (commercially available) or hard work and sacrifice Road Runner (free, user customizable)

Yeah BMAC, that's the thing. I just had member send me a PM about doing the bezel work for him. I hesitate to give an answer, since the fabrication work is so long...and I may need the car here for fittings. People do not understand the time involved in making the bezel.

The 06-07 ones. If the projector headlamps are not identical, then they are very similar and I am sure the internals are the same.

Hey Fishbone, what do you actually want ? Bertter contrast and visibility during inclement weather ? Gotta go yellow for that - replace the "fog lights" and maybe even re-align them to further light up the road ahead (as much as possible) Your GT got low beam HIDs ? We do not have that as OEM; just some phillips bulbs. But people have installed with great success...and the latest STIs have pretty much same hgeadlights and HIDs. That being said, i sport OSRAM Rally +65W bulbs and I am pretty happy with them: I avoid the HID shine in wet yet I see farther up the road and more lumens on the asphalt...

BMAC, you gotta consider side jobs...seriously...

I have a Pentium 3 Mobile and 512 MB RAM in a Toshiba laptop that serves as my PC. It handles everything quite well. I use iGuidance 3 and Centrafuse. i have built extra fans for cooling the cpu and drilled extra holes in the laptop plastics.

Errr dude...where are you gonna keep a desktop in the car ? Most of us either bought the special automotive - spec PCs as sold by MP3CAR or others (or built their own enclosures but same internals) or run it off a laptop. The space contraints are pretty severe...and again, we are dealing with massive power consumption... While I got no doubt the desktop power source converts down from 110 V to something else - maybe 19V or thereabouts, I am quite certain the desktop mobos use more electricity, generate more heat etc. That 2.7 GHz 1Gb RAM is overkill. Unless playing QUAKE in the car. Laptop hard drives are meant to take shocks. Because laptops are not always used in a stationary flat surface environment. They can also run vertically. Desktop HDD may prove unreliable in an automotive environment.

Hold it. That setting allows you to get more screen space for the IG3 when using the maximize window feature. To be exact...when you hit IG3 on the touchscreen, it will embed it. At the top there will be the music song display, then the IG3 buttons - dest, view, menu, maximize (right hand corner) and at the button the music buttons (rew, pause-play, fwd). With my setting, when you hit maximize, you get just the IG3 window. there are ways to cover the info panel at the bottom of the IG3 window but I did not want that. You just keep messing with the window size of that plugin and you get what you want. But here it is - in unclear pictures...what I mean:

Actually here it is this is the relevant code for modifing the position of the ig window within the skin: <APPX>0</APPX> <APPY>51</APPY> <APPWIDTH>848</APPWIDTH> <APPHEIGHT>270</APPHEIGHT> <FULLAPPX>0</FULLAPPX> <FULLAPPY>51</FULLAPPY> <FULLAPPWIDTH>848</FULLAPPWIDTH> <FULLAPPHEIGHT>353</FULLAPPHEIGHT>

I can send you my customized plugin if you so desire. Mine still displays the ETA, speed, etc but when maximized - there are no music buttons. To get back to that - I have to minimize the display (max and min - imize are used to describe the size of the iguidance window within centrafuse - NOT in the windows meaning).

I have a setting for CF to give more screen space to IG3 ! You have to go in the plugin settings and change some parameters (easy enough in notepad) and upon maximizing, the music buttons (play, pause, fwd, rew) disappear and IG3 covers that space as well.
