Hey King, what kind of connectors are those white one's? Where could I get something like that? It doesn't even have to be the same type, I would just like to have some kind of connectors where I can just plug in/unplug the pwr/grnd/rem wires.. I've never really seen any quick disconnect connectors at radioshack, unless I'm blind.

 

Radioshack. I think it's part #274-154. I found them where they have the standard molex connectors. The other connector is part #274-224

 

How did I know you were going to say RadioShack Leave it to me to miss what I'm looking for, and the sales person to not know anything I will take another look next time I'm there. Thanks

 

Guess I'll have to find a way or simply wait for the new version of DigitalFX. I finally fixed my TV on my bezel GUYS....here's my worklog

I'll find some time during the next 2 weeks to fix the stock LCD in the car

 

THANKS KING. YEAH THAT'S HELP ALOT. THAT'S WHAT IM GOING TO DO, EXCAPT IM NOT USING THE ORANGE WIRE FOR LCD. BUT ONE MORE DUMB QUESTION. YOU SAID YOU RUN THE YELLOW AND BLACK TO YOUR FUSE DISTRO BLOCK. IS THAT THE FUSE LINE FROM YOUR BATTERY? WHAT IM THINKING IS THAT. RUN A 30A FUSE LINE FROM BATTERY AND CONNECT IT TO THE YELLOW WIRE(12V). AND GROUND THE BLACK WIRE TO ANYWHER IN THE CAR. IS THAT RIGHT TOO?

 

All my negative wires (amps and PC) go to a seperate block that then goes to a ground point on the car. The yellow goes to fused power block (along with my amp wires). I also have a fuse near the battery up front under the hood. Running a decicated fused line from the battery to the pc would be fine too. Since I have 3 amps and a PC it's easier for me to use a distro block in the trunk for all my junk. My Optima Yellow top battery really gets a work out with all that junk in the trunk.

 

KING:
i went and look at your work log. and see you done a good job on that old LCD. how you coverup all that gab? did you cut that front stock old face plate to fit it? and fill the gab with something else?

 

I filled the gap with a body filler putty, almost feels like playdoh. I'll try to get the name and get back to you. Getting the touchscreen flush and appearing stock was the toughest part of the install for me. Honestly, I'm still not 100% satisfied and may end up taking it to a professional. West Coast Customs is down the street from me. I've met Ryan a couple of times. His son goes to the same private school my kids go to and we run into each other sometimes. I may give him a call but I'll know he'll charge me an arm and a leg.

 

king can you take a picture on your gps configuration screen. i couldn't get my rr to read my gps reciever. im assuming i need the compatable gps software towork with rr like iguidance ect. i have MS street. its work when i run it self.

 

KING: Did you use any type of putty to fix the LCD on the bezel?? I did mine this weekend and I still get some space on both side. I'll bring it to my PRO AUDIO friend to see if we can conserve that OEM LOOK!

 

The metal housing from the LCD holds the touchscreen securely in place. To fill the gaps I used this:

http://www.loctiteproducts.com/repai...=8&Product=160

Do some research there maybe other putties you can use

Here's what I did:

I covered the front part of the touchscreen with foil. I pressed the foil firmly around the edges of the screen to get a good mold. I added putty to the inside of the bezel. I then pushed the foil covered touchscreen against the bezel while the putty was still soft. This closed the gaps around the inside of the bezel. I very gently took the screen off the foil . This left me with the foil on the inside of the bezel. I then trimmed with a razor blade while it was hardening and sanded/filed smooth the edges of the bezel opening. Once I felt the opening was good I covered the entire bezel with masking tape making sure was the opening was only exposed. I took some flat black sray paint and painted the inside of bezel wher I had applied the putty. Since I have a big touchscreen (8") The gaps were pretty big for me and the top and bottom of the bezel.

Working on the bezel is not for the faint of heart. Be ready to buy another if you mess this up. This will be the hardest thing I had to do on my install and it took me some time figure it out and get it right.

I use Iguidance so I'm not sure how MS Street works on RR. I think you need to point RR to MS Street. My gps receiver is on port 4 and RR reads it on port 0. Seems to work OK

 

yeah i got it to read the gps for RR. some time is not locked to gps and some it does. i use the digital fx too. it a very nice skin. i never know it so hard to set up RR. media engine is way easier, but it not as cool as rr. right now im having problem with music can't get RR to load music even those i DL winamp the one they recommanded. i setup the winamp path and the music folder path and i load RR no music show up. that wierd

i got some pic of my progress below.

after i put all the pc part in and run it for the first time.


config touch screen and messing around with RR front end


pic of the back of LCD where i home made the extented cable from climate control



my opus psu with 4 pins quick connect



king
what the pin set up on your opus? one in the middle and one at the side?

 

Pin Setup? Do you mean for the shut down sequence?

 

im talking about this shut down jumper on the opus. for JU1 i have the jumper pin on 0-0-0(10 sec ) and then after sd delay(JU2) ihave the pin on 1-0. is that what what you have setup too?

 

man i have a brand new build computer and RR is keepon crashing on me. why? say like im listen to music then exit the screen and look at other thing alse it just froze. and a not repsond message is pop up. that's wierd.

 

Did you installed the latest with the installerrr ??

 

i have RR ver. 2.0.0.24. and digital fx skin. even those i use bmv2 skin is still crash. and froze.

 

its wierd even thouse i'm doing any thing when i load RR. i let it sit and it still crash. says not respond. and my cps used its like 1-4%

 

!!REMOVE ALL!!! And try the RR installer, there's no way it should hand or freeze.

Don't forget to read the readme for DigitalFX, you need to add some line to the rr.ini before everything.

 

i think that what i had installed. it from this forum. yeah i did add the line to rr.ini
http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/road...r-updater.html

yeah i couldn't believe it iether. even those i'm not using fx skin. it still do the the same. i think it could be my computer. or HDD. but they all new. and xp fresh install. i might have to use difference front end if keep freez.

 

Is this happening with the skin and without the skin? If it's happening without the skin then it's another problem. Bois settings ok?

 

it it freeze without the skin too. i didn't touch my bios. i just leave as is.

 

^^When a client told me a phrase like this one I reply:
Do you want me to take control of your computer and see what the problem is?lol

 

I think it time to check all you parts and make sure they are all seated properly. R you running it off the opus or Desk top PSU?

 

oh my god at lease i work agian!!. i went in to rr configuration and took off the midia classic path out and it run smooth.., but king what your JU1 and JU2 pin configuration.

 

GOOD, now you can move to your next step. Dont give up!

 

im runing the pc out of it psu. but its work good now.

nope i'm to far to give it up.. i already got my lcd back in ther car and do half way of amp wiring. so not to far from finish it up.

 

I'll have to check this weekend and get back to you.

 

No jumpers installed on either JU1 or JU2

 

THANKS... ABOUT TO FINISH IT UP SOON.

 

i wonder do we can free XM radio? or we need a code? with the carpc. i get all the channels show up but can't listen to any of them.

 

I think you need to pay!

 

You get a free trial initially, 60 days I think. But then you pay.

 

king you remember what collor of xm radio wire you tapped it. i couldn't get mine to ballance. only once side work.

 

i think i fried my xm unit. when i cut the wire it spark and after that when i press the xm button it dont go xm radio anymore.. does it has it own fuse some where. i check the fuse box everyfuse look good.
