Yup, not that difficult, just 2 10k resistor & npn transistor (or so it may seem.. they're all SMD and I've never done any SMD soldering before!! smile.gif). Anyway, do you have any photo on the antenna? Is it the GTI style or straight up? Do we need to drill our roof to install?

I dont have the picture now... it is the magnetic style.

Steven, do you have problem with USB connection in your setup? It seems that everytime I added new things, all my connection went haywire .. in the weekend, I put in a USB hub with a thought of extending the USB ports so I could use my broadband & usb drive, but somehow, the X-cross cliptech hub doesn't have enough power to power up the modem.. and somehow this messing up everything.. I don't know much about win7, but is there anyway that we can fix the port number? Ah, the bluetooth suddenly went offline too and I need to disconnect & reconnect for the system to recognise it.
*
u use too long cable and not all usb hub can be used in the car! use USB extender or u wanna to try my DIY USB RJ45 extender? it works pretty well!

The 140W is I think the HV => High Voltage which caters a range  6-32V (truck or marine batteries) ..

140HV is for marine! i have both.. the HV i use it when going out to the sea with my fren boat.

sorry im noob bout all these thingy..

160W is enough to run Zotax MB with C2Q processor... tested edi..

so far i think the best MB is still Intel D945GCLF2D becoz it boot very fast and so far my PC did not hang before.

It seems that shutting down the system, disconnect all the power .. reconnect all the USB cables while booting up seem to solve the port gone haywire for my setup. Probably since I've never actually took the power out of the unit, each USB ports are actually active and there probably an assignment conflict between them when I remove/reconnect my USB devices. Anyway, need to work on the carpc today, the webcam quality worsen when I changed something, so need to reinstall the driver.

One thing that I'm still need to find a solution for is the wifi, when I parked outside my house, my iphone could detect and connect to the router but the carpc can only see it but not connect to it. Probably the tiny antenna doesn't help much.. Steven, do you use external antenna for wifi or you don't really use wifi? The shark fin antenna at mp3.com cost a bomb on the shipping .. but it seems could be the only solution.. any idea?
*
Yes i have this issue before that! this is because the USB power not enough and the port constantly hang. Try to use better cable or USB extender! this will solve the problem. The Wifi is the same! it is not your WIFI hardware problem it is the USB underpowered.

DAB = Digital Audio Broadcasting .. according to the web, few local stations already doing testing, I've no idea when the gov. will ask RTM and all stations to transmit in digital, but in Europe, many stations already transmitting in both digital and analogue and in UK, they're turning off the analogue transmission in I think 2015..

There is 20 station broadcast on DAB

What if the current music playing has the singer singing the lyric "next song" ? wont that automatically skip the song ? 

and the "shut the fxxk off" will cause u unable to finish listening to LMF or eminen's songs LOL, coz most probably these singers will  utter it in their songs, causing the software to auto-detect them as "commands".
*
from speaker output the mic wont catch the command signal... tested..

Added on August 23, 2010, 11:21 pmHere is the DAB that you looking for... it works but comes with a few bugs hahahaha


user posted image
In DAB mode with DAB available channel

user posted image
This one is normal FM mode

The problem now is everytime when we switched to FM mode, after 5 sec it will jump back to DAB mode.
Craig is working out this issue. He will release updated plugin in 1 or 2 days.

FYI, the price of the DAB is going up soon. so pls purchase since the SHIPPING FEE IS FREE NOW.
The device is worth to get. Trust me.

Guess I need to now smile.gif Only thing, the antenna is my concern, I'm getting a lot of inteference from my carpc to my current HU. Probably by going to this DAB radio will hopefully fix that, but need to install new antenna though, gti like antenna cost almost the same as the radio smile.gif

On the gmpc plugin, no thanks, the current one works for me, but surely there is a but, the voice prompt will mute anything that playing at the time it comes out and does not resume. Pretty annoying I would say.


Added on August 24, 2010, 7:20 amHahaha.. couldn't tahan, so I put my order just now smile.gif
*
hahahaha Cannot tahan huh

here the list of antenna recommended by Craig

You will just need to give it a try regarding your antenna. Some work fine while others don't. Known working aerials are :-
Glass Mount
Magnetic Mount
Roof OEM Antenna Replacement
Roof OEM Antenna Replacement (Craig using it)


Added on August 24, 2010, 10:39 amIf you going to order the Antenna pls let me know because i might tag along
