yea having all the music right here kicks ass, hense why im modding my xbox, nukka!!

Just need to add some aluminum foil and I'll be ready to make my insert for my trackpad.

have fun mounting that lilliput dude... PITA to understate it.

i've been contemplating putting mine in front of the stereo bezel, molded into the bezel, or jammed behind the bezel. course, much more difficult to decide w/o having the screen in my hands (still in japan or some such place til next week).

aleromaster i believe has gotten one to fit, and storm said he has it mounted upside down and it fits w/no mods.

Yeah to mold it in the dash you have to move the HVAC controls down an inch if you want to keep the buttons. I was going along that route but in my final sanding I messed up bad and sanded off half the icons on the hvac controls.

I wa thinking about having it molded to the outside of the radio opening like cybermob said. I'm still not sure.......

That's the only thing I'm stuck on for this project........

I might have to look for someone locally to install the screen and move my head unit

I actually put myhead unit in my glove box. I would like a headunit less system but I'm waiting for the XM-pcr to be intergrated with MediaCar before I ditch the head unit. I only use it for XM and cd anyways. I would rather have my screen molded in so I will just have to wait till I can get anohter bezel

when relocating (if) your HU, keep in mind they don't work for poop if they aren't level, cds that is.

it never occurred to me, but its not like i'm ever going to use my cd player again anyway. all my cds come from my computer, which is gonna sync with my car!

This looks interesting.
I have had my setup for some months now.
I have had some problems but solved the most of them.

Now I only have to get rid of the interference when I start up the carputer.

Good luck with your carputers!

a couple more pics.......

Woah! Nice job

I REALLY need a powerbook... Not for the mac tho.. I'd load linux on that.

:thumbsup: killer-mod! :thumbsup:

anything but windows lol something unix based

Primer

First coat of the texture spray

Temporary screen mounting, until I figure out how I want to mount it in the dash.

I can easily take the screen off of the mount and stash it if I need to.

...

purdy damn sexy even if its only temp.

I agree :D
try angling the bracket upward a little, b/c wouldn't looking down at the screen be weird if it was parallel to the head unit like that?

I'm going to rebend my mount so that the screen is totally below the radio and it will be angled up a little bit more.

seeing that screen in front of the dash gives me the shakes... i don't know how the hell i'm going to mount mine in there!

i've got ghetto rigged mental pictures taking over!

looks good though!

that looks awesome voodoo...when do you plan on finishing it up?

Thx!

Over the next few weeks hopefully.

It depends on the weather and how much I play golf/screw off/mountain bike.

But I also need to get crackin' on the fiberglass box for the trunk. I'll probably start that this week/weekend sometime.

looks great

you should be able to take off the front cover of the screen, hack up the radio bezel and mold it in with some panel bond

^^^^That's what I wanna do, not sure how willing I am to do it myself though.
If I had an extra front cover I would definitely do it.......

call around the junk yards? ^

getting there

...

looking great

i'd say i would help you, but im starting a couple jobs soon. plus youd have to drive out to my rents. lol

Just a little update. I think I finally have everything I need to get this project up and running, just need to get my screen molded in and I'll be set. I also added an external 80gb firewire drive as I had maxed out the internal drive on my ibook with the 364 cd's I ripped and the damn navigational software.

Here is the track pad molded in, I just have to fill some low spots and put the finish on it.

holly poop man...that's alot of work u put into this...looks awesome..can't wait to see it finished :thumbsup:

Screen molding underway. I was going to have someone else od it for $150 but they backed out, so I'm doing it myself. It won't look quite as nice as being totally flush with or sunken into the old trim but this was my easiest option to save the buttons on the front. I will be repainting and adding texture to the whole trim piece. Now if I could just get some vinyl overlays for the heater controls......

.....

almost ready to prime texturize and paint.....

.....

awesome job man, i give you mad props! :thumbsup:

nice, lil different than what i would have done. but still nice none the less.

very nice phil.
