simen putty lah....

wont crack ezily like fibre??

thats the skill haha.... Creativity+skill= awesome

What you need to do is to use fiber and finish it off with bondo to get a smooth surface. And surely a lot of patient .. do search on the net on how to apply bondo (it supposed to be a brand, but it seems that people now use the word as if it is a material/verb .. just like xerox).

Look here on how they do it:

Yes, it can be placed anywhere you wish. It is provide with a mounting stand which has a foam rubber adhesive bottom so you can fix it on any part of your desktop. By rotating the screen left or right you can make sure you always have it rotated to provide easy access to the information you want.
Can this LCD touch screen monitor be used for film making purposes?
Yes, this 7 inch LCD touch screen monitor is the perfect tool for location and studio filming. It provides flexible viewing in a size that is easy to mount on top of cameras or hold in your hands.

But i just afraid the touchscreen is not industrial gred which later on lari in the hot sun and lari at the night time like the old liliput.... secondly i also notice no reverse signal input.....

There also a problem if u want to fix in the dashboard coz the socket is on the side, even after we bukak the panel edi we need to desolder and relocate the socket... dunno how easy is this stuff!

This post has been edited by LittleMin: Sep 3 2010, 05:52 PM

Probably the same as my monitor .. cable looks the same .. now I need to move my carpc from underneath my seat to the back of passenger seat. I need longer cable for the vga & touch screen.. will contact seller if he sells only the cable ..

The cable i think you can custom by your own!

Anyway i think im going to get back the same monitor as mine because i have used it quite sometime and no problem at all till date rather than spending cheaper monitor and have lotsa problem and then wasted another monitor haha

Hehe.. Steven couldn't wait till Saturday .. !! BTW, nice setup you've there Steven .. envy your sound system too.. just that, I'm not into it for now. Probably not yet

Haha must test befoe saturday lols... Someday u will enjoy a better sound system... Trust me... U just need to find the right kaki... I think we might know each other long time ago but maybe we forget coz radio armature group not much ppl n u also know 9w2gl.

u all shiok la..

im stil trying hard to solve my screen position problem..aikzz..

Tried to position the antenna on my roof, couldn't put it at the front since the mast will become vertical, need to put it at the rear but .. went to accessories shop and they said, ayak.. manyak menda mau buat oo.. you bawak pigi itu kedai ketuk2 .. adoi.. hahaha.. now, need to learn on how to strip off the roof carpet .. probably will do this slowly since I don't have the radio yet.

Added on September 16, 2010, 8:00 pmSteven, manual found here:

http://products.hirschmann-car.com/SepiaPI...TA_16_V_DAB.pdf

Hey, how come we have only single power input and the manual shown has two separate power inputs for DAB and FM?

This post has been edited by wiraone: Sep 16 2010, 08:00 PM

Yeah it is not easy to install even my car had a place to fit edi... The PDF that you attached is a different model however the amplification 10db is a lot. Never mind i think i will just install everything. Jalan or tak jalan i also dun mind.... So now i can remove my VHF antenna.

The DAB changing channel is quite slow so i think i will maintain my HD radio. So now i will have HD radio + DAB + DAB FM hahahahaha

What to do .. nasi sudah jadik bubur ..

Uhhhh..... Luckily is not an expensive lesson, anyway the antenna for FM is super clear except DAB ... Maybe later i will have to try to fix the antenna and drive to Angkasapuri... if all the channel still cant receive then we are officially screwed by this guy.....

When is Malaysia going to have more channel light Lite and Easy on DAB or Hitz.FM on DAB channel! i wish malaysia can receive XM radio dammit... i willing to pay for that.

ps: Have you try install CF2 and CF3 without deleting each other? I would like to have both because sometimes maybe i prefer CF3 but most of the time CF2 is the most stable. Others front end like streetdeck, Road Runner, Media Portal and ETC is really sux due to the limited plugin unless you are a very good SDK developer.
