I have a non-navi. I would really like to get a carputer installed into the car. Would anyone in California be interested in doing such an assignment for me. Of course I'm willing to compensate you for the parts and services. I'm not very savy with electronic hardware, nor am I good with auto parts. If I was, I would have already made an attempt to do it myself. Seeing that there are a few people on this board who has done a successful install, I was hoping that someone in CA would be able to hook me up.

Please let me know.

 

I'm in Socal. I have a Carpc in my TL but I would only attempt this on my own car.

 

I can do it.. i'm in LA... Did the first carPC install on a 3GTL =)
I've taken my TL appart so many times, know every screw location by heart haha.
Sent u my contact info via PM.

 

hi mohdib if you can do mine , ill appreciate ,
i have a acura tl 05 , i want a carputter
let me know if u can , iam in vegas , i can drive over there

 

Thanks man. I sent you an email to your gmail account. I'm very interested in getting a Car PC into my car. I've thought about the non-navi to navi conversion, but I think a carputer is a more worthy alternative.

Get back at me when you have the time to discuss.

 

In the event that things don't work out with mohdib, is there anyway I can convince you to build and try installing a PC into my car. By the way, do you have pictures of your setup? I would love to see what you came up with. Mohdib's setup was steller and completely amazed me at what ingenuity he had. All you guys do some insane stuff that I've never thought would be possible.

 

Here you go.

Anyone interested in seeing my carPC setup in LA/CA area come to the meet this Sunday in Whittier Narrows Park. I'll definitelly be there and answer any questions ou guys might have. Are you coming King of Pain?

 

Gonna miss this one.

I'm leaving Sunday morning on a business trip to Chicago.

Somebody PLEASE take lots of pics.

 

moahdib, i so want to look at your car as i am in LA too.
however, i can't send u a pm or nothing.
i don't know how to activate my PM. oh well.
but I REALLY WANT TO SEE YOUR CAR!!!!!!!!!

p.s. no, i won't spill a drool in your car. =)

 

awww.. man... i was at the meet.. i totally missed your car...
thinking about converting non- navi to navi..
but after reading up on carputer.. whats the benifits of coverting.. non-navi to navi or carputer/????

 

Sorry I showed up kinda late.. 2pm. Had some problems since I was detailing my car in the morning.

Well non-navi to carputer conversion.. to me its a no-brainer. =)

1- probably cheaper than converting to a navi... if you're doing the labor yourself.
2- gps navigation, play mp3s with virtually unlimited storage .. just get bigger HDs., play videos, dvd's. If you have innternet connection via dialup using your cellphone, broadband wireless card, or wi-fi for that matter... you can have real-time traffic,weather and web surfing of course. I recently added HDTV over the air. I have access to over 40 channels in my area, in high quality HD definition. No comparison to analog tv tuners. which is basically what you buy out there.
3- you can easily connect a rear-view camera as well which auto turns on when you put the car on reverse.

I don't recommend anyone with little knowledge on computers or basic car audio on doing this... because since its a computer, you will always be updating, configuring, adding stuff. Your ability to do that yourself will save you lot of money as opposed to you asking someone else to do it.

I'm sure everyone who has done this agree with me that this is labor intensive but the benefits are endless....
THis is the 4th time i've installed a carputer in my car or a family member and no matter how many times you do it, it ain't no cookie cuter =)

Check out www.mp3car.com. Thats the hub of carputing. Read the faqs in the forums and find out what carputing is all about.

 

I went to the dealership to try to get them to install nav on my 05. They basically laughed at me and told me to buy an 07 with nav.

I am totally leaning towrads getting a carputer and have seen two different types. There was one that is double din and would prob fit into the air/radio display area and then there was system with monitor.

Anyone have any suggestions or advice?

 

hey sorry man i was busy , if u are planning to visit Las Vegas for a day or so let me know we can hang out , ill show u around and u can check out my car

 

Hey Moahdib -

I am interested in getting the carputer for my 05 TL. For some reason I can't PM you. Can you PM me with your contact information plz? I will get in touch with you offline.

Thanks!

 

email me at s-o-h-d-a-n at g-m-a-i-l.c-o-m

 

bookmarked this page, i may ask for your services in the near future moahdib

that is if my expenses are all in order lol

 

Is there any software/GPS packages out there that you can use on your carputer that will also allow NavTraffic? Now that would be the crowning touch IMO.

 

As long as you can get dial up connection ( DUN) to your cellphone, you can get any traffic, weather or watever data from internet you want....
My roadrunner skin uses the flash traffic map from traffic.com.
I got one website for you to fulfill your carPC questions.

mp3car.com =)

 

man.. let moahdib do ur work..
i checked out his car couple days ago.. it's just sex, man.
