if your car OBD compliant for sure you can display all the info on screen using your carpc. The device (interface unit) can be found here -> http://www.vitalengineering.co.uk/support.htm.

If you want to replace original meter altogether, Win XP definitely not the suitable OS. You need a dedicated device for example embedded system running RTOS.

nice setup man~
hope to setup for myself 1 day...

car goyang2 wont affect the HDD?

Like mentioned before, he's using a laptop HDD. Laptop HDDs spin slower, and are less vulnerable to car goyang. Also, don't be stupid la and put important data on it, most also you'll put songs and movies only right?

That was Great ........... !! , how much $ your throw to design and make it ?

Sorry for the late reply...been going out stations....well less the 1k

i have a question, how do you install softwares or updates? since i noticed you don't have ad cd drives. do you install all in the external hard disk previously before installing into the car or you plug in temporary a cd drive.

p.s suggestion, you can try placing a rheostat so that when the com shutsdown, so will the inverter

I only need media software only...i use only WMP.... as for updates..... wireless connection thru wireless router at home....

sometimes i do use USB HDD...

Hmm, didn't know you put wifi on your car PC..cool idea. Can just park outside starbucks and go online.

Btw, just realised something-even if thieves detect your PC from the wifi signals or the wireless mouse signals, when they break into your car they won't know what to look out for..and it would be a lot of trouble trying to dismantle that PC to take it away. Not to mention that is not worth much anymore..probably not even RM500.

True
