i do know a shop that does this, but i don't think the boss is free to layan me. LOLZ

anyway will try and ask. thx for you remind.

if u wan to do it is no easy and i dun think the people will do 4 u unless in a acceptable price for THEM...

if u wan to do we can do this on the weekend.... 2 days should be enough and then u go back and touch up...

Anyone encounter the screen become slightly reddish after a long period park the car under hot sun? Mine become like that after a year+ using the setup. After a while cruise, the screen back to normal color back. Is my screen fault?

friexs, probably its the TFT glass that caused this. Mine still looking just fine.

BTW, centrafuse is now at ver 4.0, anybody upgraded yet?

If TFT screen cause the reddish, can we do anything to avoid the reddish from appear again? Any recommendation brand for screen upgrade? i saw at lelong site, they selling vga touch screen starting at 500++. isit worth it?

btwn, still using cap lanun CF, not sure how the CF 4.0 appear.

Added on October 27, 2011, 1:55 pmYeah im getting it soon but lets see what is the improvement....

U have any news on the DAB driver?

This post has been edited by mxsteven: Oct 27 2011, 01:55 PM

whats brand u selling? issit liliput too? how much should i expect the price nowadays?

IPAD is useless in the car... you cant install Garmin or Igo or anything, you cant have Centrafuse either Riderunner, you cant change soundcard you cant add additional gadget like power management or install Emanage software or any any tuning software.... and lots more...

IPAD cant even start up its own when u start ur car...

It is a different category... Car PC is a Car PC you will not understand it until you have it.

@steven, haha.. my DAB is in the drawer already.. saw the v4 but my v3.6 works just fine, haven't gone an check what new features available for v4.

@friexs, mine is lilliput .. bought from mo-co-so US but you can get from ebay. No idea where to get the lilliput but I believe steven should be able to source that industrial grade for you .. pricewise, believe not much different when you need to consider the postage .. betul kat steven?

Hey all, i'm currently working on a project for my car. It's to install a computer in a car for entertainment and also use it for google searches, online tv, and movies (i know this can be solved with a simple dual din HU, but having a computer in a car allows you to keep terabytes of movies all together. And they're removable )

So,let's start off. First of all, i'm in a dilemma whether to install Mac or windows.

Mac mini is extremely small and i only have to mod my dashboard compartment to put it in there but for the windows system, i have to bring all the wirings back as the system will be placed at the back.

Recommend me on this please.


Second, custom made LCD holder on my dashboard. I'll be using at least 13" or less screen size. Or just buy a photo frame which has hdmi input. So, can i make a hole in my dashboard and send to shop to fabricate a suitable frame for my lcd ? ( like the ones in "west coast customs" )

Third, i'll be remaking my centre console (gear part there) myself using high quality wood and other necessary items (YES, i have all the tools and skills to do it, i've learnt how to do it and have experience doing it ) But, one problem, is there any place that wraps that console i made with pvc ? The exact colour which is in Grand Livina's ? Nice cream colour one. Reason i'm doing this is to custom make my own arm rest , pull in wires for my usb hubs (coming from the pc) , and my ipod controls (dual din HU) , and also AUX.

Fourth, POWER SUPPLY !!! How guys ? I know that i can use a inverter but i dont want that as its too messy. Any idea to hook it up directly to the battery ? I'll be connecting a switch and a fuse to turn it off and protecting the pc.

And about the keyboard and mouse, i've already got a Mac keyboard with a Microsoft wireless mouse.
