...has been in for several months now. Works great without any hiccups.

no pics yet...my dash and console are similar to moahdib's with the OEM LCD below the radio and Xenarc 700tsv up top.

I built the computer into the glovebox and have a fan in the bottom pulling in cool, cabin air. The other fan vents out the top behind the dash. I have a GPS module on the dash and a tiny Wi-Fi adaptor tucked under the sunvisor and pointing out the sunroof.

SW: XP with MediaCar for interface and MS Mappoint 2004 for navi. Plan on ugrading interface to Road Runner. 12GB+ of emulated game systems with playstation controllers and USB port in center console (to be replaced with a hub soon). 500+ full albums of mp3s...

Plan to add DVD drive in glovebox, USB hub in center console, a valet switch, and rear-view camera which will complete Phase III.

Total cost at the end of a fully functional Phase I: $989.00 and a lot of late nights after work.
Cost to date: $1,229.00

 

Pretty impressive. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the pics. While I have no plans on doing this myself, I appreciate the creativity and care that goes into such installations.

 

I'd do this if my budget permitted. Gonna be really cool when finished.

 

Oh, this is one of those projects that will NEVER be quite "finished"

 

finally got off my ass and posted a thread with pics from the project
