DrLomaX Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Hey guys, I have posted pics of my car pc on another site but u can view the images without registering, enjoy...... http://www.wrxatl.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5014 As u can see the radio is on "AM", thats because I tapped into the traces and use the AM trigger to run my AUX audio from the PC.

DrLomaX Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 I am glad u guys like it. I tried to keep it as OEM as possible cause when my tuner sat in the car he expected it to be bling but he was amazed that it looks like it came of the lot this way. pc specs?

Wow.. How much did that run ya? I'm hoping to do something a lot cheaper - just do some monitoring and maybe some navigation.. HV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leggtnut Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Have you looked at iGuidance for navigation? I find it a bit friendlier for in-car navigation +1 for iguidance. I have it running on my pocket pc and I love it.

DrLomaX Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 Well I got S&T and it works pretty good. The only thing that pisses me off is that everytime u use the application and when the system goes to shut down, it pops up the do wish to save your map popup and then the system goes for a hard shut down since the popup halts the soft shutdown. But I got Mappoint 2004 and I have the dev tools to design a mdified version of the tool, so lets hope for the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLomaX Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 Wow.. How much did that run ya? I'm hoping to do something a lot cheaper - just do some monitoring and maybe some navigation.. Everything together was around $750 and about $200 overhead due to snags, paintwork etc. All in all i found it to be a better option than the head units with navigation. Lot cheaper and alot more capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noam Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Looks great. Did you do the screen fabrication work yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dv8ingvector Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Nice I need to get a screen and start on mine. I just picked up an extra vent/trim piece; what did you use for filler in smoothing out the screen surround there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLomaX Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 Looks great. Did you do the screen fabrication work yourself? Yes sir, the only thing I did not do is the painting process. Had to give it to a bodyshop to match the paint. Besides that, bondoing (not a real verb), sanding etc. were all by me. My recommendation to have a good clear game plan before you get to work. 1. Make your frame with some wet balsa wood so that it will flex. 2. Use bondo over the wood frame to get the proper shape 3. Sand and rebondo till the desired shape is achieved. I went thru 3 runs since bondo starts to dry so fast, might learn fiber glass for the next project. Also, use the plastic from the screen frame so that the viewing area fits just about right. I will also post a thread about step by step of how I made eveyerthing or well most of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prelude Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Very nice! If I can redo mine, I will "cave in" the screen more, just like yours. Stock style is the way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt_ltd Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 DrLomaX, how did you solve the aux-in problem? This Space For Rent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLomaX Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 Real simple actually, if u refer to this thread http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21047&highlight=blank Page1 will tell u information about the traces and page 3 will tell u about the different triggers. Since I dont give a crap about AM I decided to disable it. In simple, I cut the traces and put a schmidt triggered DPDT relay which is switched by the 4V AM trigger to switch to Normally Open (Aux In) from Normally Closed (FM). Not very complicated, just requires a steady hand. I will post the circuit diagram of the schmidt triggered relay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
