well its crunch time... i am moving to TX on memorial day so i have to get the carputer finished if i want to have it for the road trip... here some updated pics so far..











and new toy just put in yesterday.. no pics on car yet..

 

A complete part listing on the parts in the carputer would be awesome. It is something I have thought about doing before but havent made a sure decision. Where is the final price coming in at?

And the ground kit, do you have a list of where all your wires are? And lengths if possible. Another something I want to get going on.

 

looks great....would look even beter resized im sure

 

sorry.. didn't have time to resize.. i am so strapped on time with everything for the move to TX... lolz...

ground kit i wired everything except for the alternator cause it is buried on the 3.2... i think u should talk to mike since he has the kit on his 2.5... else ill post when i get down to TX everything u want.. carputer hopefully in soon..

 

ok and what this carpurter do?

 

nav or somthing?

 

Where did you get the Rikaline 6010. I'm looking into building one for myself and it seems like a good reciever to go with, but I am having trouble finding it for sale anywhere.

I really want it for GPS/OBD reading/logging/display. I'm not too worried about audio/video from it, I've got a new HU for that, maybe, unless I sell it.

I don't know yet, but it looks like I'm looking at just shy of $900 in total costs. What did yours come out to?

Also, what are you using for a PS?

And longeyes, its like taking a desktop and putting it into your car, but a bit cooler/more involved. You can use it for GPS, OBDII interfacing, audio, video, or even controlling things like the power locks/windows if you go that far.

 

mp3, navigation, DVD surround sound and of course video games.. so far im up to about 1k$ for the carputer..

if i get bored after this is done.. ill try to get it into my ECU so i can monitor the engine..

 

Kam, do you have AIM? I'm trying to put together a list of what I am going to do and whatnot and would like to talk to you a bit more about it.

 

yeah i searched around and rikaline is one of the tops... i actually got it off amazon as a package with the msstreets05... 60 bucks with ship,,,

i didn't trust the gps mouse that was bundled with ms streets for 100 bucks..

and i know when the software gets outdated, i can reuse the mouse for any other mapping software, delorme etc... i just wish it had voice...
