Yeah sorry they have me working from 8 am to 9 pm everyday so I have no timeto go drop the film off for divelopment. Anyone with a digital camera live in the Plant city Florida area wanna take some pics? :P

got my lilliput! finally!


just gotta sort out a problem - the stupid thing wont run while the engine is on. oh well i'll figure it out.

master what exactly are you running?

[Aleromaster]

lilliput and a hp e pc. I have the lilliput wired of the hdd power supply since I acidently fried teh lilliput ps.

oops. fried my pw70-a i believe.

had everything running awesome. auto startup and auto shutdown worked flawlessly.

routis GPS software is the bomb, works very VERY nicely, and you can't beat having 6gb of mp3 on call at all times.

what PSU are you running?

The hp epc is a tiny comp that has its own built in dc psu. all you do is feed it 19v dc. I used one of those laptop ps adapters of ebay for $20 to supply power and it works great. The whold comp fits under the passenger seat. after I get a dvd slim drive I will tear apart the case and build it a little smaller and move the drive to the center consol.

Wow looks good to everyone doing this....i would love to do something like this but I dont think I have the patience enough with electronics and all, perhaps someone can post a rough how to on a basic carputer?

For those TV's that everyone put in the HU DIN panel, how much did they cost and what are the best kinds to buy?

master- checked e-pc prices on ebay... around 150-200 complete is not a bad deal at all. you figure you get decent speed (1-2ghz), 20gb, 256, slim CD and a DC-DC power supply you're pretty much set to go.

the most widely used screens are either lilliputs or xenarcs, of the 7" widescreen variety. most ppl dont have room for much more than 7" (ie the alero) so it works well. lilli and xenarc both have nice lcd/touchscreen packages that work well. you can do alot more if you have crafty touchscreen/lcd experience.

they run about $250-$500, the xenarcs running higher than lilliputs.


i've finally got mine running, haven't mounted the lcd yet, and have to replace some diodes i burned out while soldering too long.
