Hello! I have install the pc comp in my t-bird year ago. Real interesting thing- it provide GPS navigation , the audio/video players, EEC IV code reader, and documentation book for car. Here is some photo of installation.
Comp is mount in luggage compartment on steel panel. I use the soft PPU mounts for computerto minimize vibration . I also use the dc/dc converter to provide 15V to notebook
Nice! Do you have more pics of your car??
This is two of last year car exhibition in TULA sity Russian Federation.
Nice I had a carputer in my xr7 years ago. Except I used a mac mini, so it fit right in place of the standard CD player deck. I mounted the screen in the same position as you except i used up both vent slots, and then ended up re-locating the vents to that hole above the CD player. Very nice install though.
I'm curious - did you have to trim the hvac ducts to get that LCD in there? Having a built-in pc would have its advantages but also disadvantages as I'd want to replace the entire stereo with it but boot times suck compared to instant on headunit and I would have to run Windows so Linux wouldn't be an option. Looks good with exception of the missing duct for the passenger.
Is that a 7" screen?
When I start this job I think about upper position of screen to look the booth: the road and the screen.
I like the wheels .. thy are pretty cool!!!!
Missing duct for Russian climate is no problem. I use 7” monitor PROLOGY PCM 700 with self-made case. There is no buttons, only IR input. The monitor is connected to ACC line and programmed for auto power on. The monitor is same like one of LILLIPUT from US market.
Very nice work.I like it.Nice wheels as well.I haven't seen those before.
