Black2.3CL

where do u buy that thing...is it custom

elserpien

Yea every thing was custom made/put together by me. I bought most of the parts off ebay and got most of my information on how to do it and software from mp3car.com

Thanks!

slamed_cl_on_18z

DAMN mad props. Some dude i met is selling me the comp. for 500$ but im wondering still how u get internet with out paying 50$ month for the verizon thing. i heard you could do it threw cell phone fill me in on this before i puchase it.

elserpien

Buy a data cable for your phone and find the modem driver for it (might come with the cable), or if you have a bluetooth phone you can get an adapter for the computer. Then you can use it by setting the internet connection to dial #777 make your username XXXXXXXXXX@vzw3g.com (x's are your phone number) and the password is vzw
I get about twice the speed of dial-up, and it just uses your regular minutes no other fees.

nice very nice. 99cl is doing something like this too. so how much money did it take to finish it?

elserpien

Thanks! I'd say about $1200 for the carputer all together. It might be a little less to do now because prices have come down a bit since I put it together.

thats pimped out

h2o-pr00f

i have that same sub sitting in my closet how do u like it?

slamed_cl_on_18z

When i get some flow during the summer im going to see if I get this type of setup.

Motohip

what do you do if you have cingular?

Bad ass setup man, as a computer dork i am very impressed, looks good

elserpien

Thanks for all your compliments!

I like it quite a bit, if you want it to be insanely loud put it in a vented box, otherwise sealed produces quieter but more acurate sound (I've had it in both). The stitching is starting to come loose on mine so it creates a rattling sound, but I dont hear it inside the car, only when I open the trunk so I'm not bothered by it too much. I have had a couple friends that have had the same problem with them too.

I have verizon so that is why I know about it. I know nothing about cingular but doing a quick search it looks like you will have to pay $20 a month for internet access. Here is a link to a discussion on it: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=67126

kraftey

That looks so nice. You should start a business and charge people to put that setup in for 'em.

roddymerritt

I'm getting the new alpine double din. Is there anyway I can use the software on that?

elserpien

Thanks! I dont think I could find enough people that could afford me in order to make a profitable business otherwise I would

This software was designed for pc's, the firmware that your alpine comes with is designed for that specific hardware. So unfortunatley the answer is no.

ib_jimmy

exactly what i was gonna do...same MB too. but i was gonna keep my car radio and have the computer connected to the AUX connection on the radio.

RiDiN CLeaN

That is SICKKK!

ATrain3.0

That is really nice. What kind of shifter is that?

99CL

Very nice setup. I'm using RoadRunner as well and IG for my navi. Have you tried the skins they have. Right now i'm using the LSX skin, which is pretty nice.

tacho

Looks like it's factory made. Very professional looking!

elserpien

Thanks! I got the shifter off ebay, I guess its some kind of porsche reproduction.

No actually I haven't really messed with changing the skins because I am so happy with the current one, but I will look into it. I have however tried other front ends and I like RR the best by far, and they update and add on to it like every couple days which is really nice. What kind of screen are you using?

99CL

I'm using the Lilliput 8" touch screen right now. Still have to mold it into my dash, waittin for the installer to have time.. I have tried other frontends as well and RR is the best one.

elserpien

the 8" came out after I bought mine, nice choice. Definetly post pics when you finish it.

subbuzz

that is def some sh*t.

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

i still can't get over how nice that is

oh and subbuzz...your alittle off on the countdown :wink:

SanJoseRoller

thats fuckin bad dude


where do you put/ do you even use a keyboard / mouse?

elserpien

Thanks! It is a touchscreen so I dont need a mouse, and I keep a mini keyboard that is about the size of a credit card in my arm rest if I ever need to type anything, and a full size keyboard in my trunk just in case. But 99% of the time I never need to type anything.

SupraManAG

thats really nice

fuslove

That sh!t is a sweet setup and it does look factory made, I did a DVD search a couple months back saw your setup and fell in love with it.... damn, I would sell my wife to get that into my car.

99CL

well u don't need to sell your wife..LoL...just need to get that touch screen which runs from 200 and up. And if you have a old computer laying around. Just use that.

elserpien

and some fiberglass/bondo/sandpaper/paint and many hours your willing to part with

pimpstaman90

Where did you get that software and are you send the sound thorught your speakers and do have a pic of the volume control and how exactlly do listen to the FM/AM radio?
THank YOu

elserpien

I got the software from mp3car.com, it is called RoadRunner. Yes the sound is going from the computer through the clarus amps to my infinity speakers, I have no head unit. If you look on the second pic to the right of the shifter you can see the volume control where the cig lighter normally is, I dont use it very often because it is just as easy to touch the screen to change the volume. I dont listen to terrestrial radio, I used to have a USB FM/AM device but the sound quality was shitty because its not made for the car environment. Currently there is not a real car solution to listen to FM/AM, most people that want to get the D-Link usb radio and ignore the static. I am more than happy with Sirius as a replacement

CLsuperhero

now you can post here right from your car that's awesome.

ajtcl

Hell yeah, that is what I'm talking about.
