An Italian site, but the pictures tell the story, and the results! A really neat looking In-Car PC for the C4...this is really tempting.... :rolleyes:

Looks good. Really would like to do something like this in my own car would not be too difficult sure i have a few spare PC parts lying about.

I would love to do this in my car too.

 

I reckon i have most of the parts needed, only hard part would be the software that runs on the PC. It looks like a custom jobbie.

 

It would prob take me a few weeks to write.

 

Anyone else think they could write it?

You could message the guy who did the install and see what software he used - I'm sure you could write something similar using powerpoint or scala. They are relatively easy to use, and I could knock something up.

 

Wozza if your gonna build something like this please write a report and take pix - alternatively we could always collaborate and work together!

Look at the setup standard XP install can just use something like windows blinds, stardock etc and set up your own theme and windows will detect the touch panel fine as a HID.

 

Not sure if im gonna do it mate need to buy a screen first and thats £700 for a half decent one. Not got that kind of money spare right now.

You could try Ebay...I've been hunting round there for a JVC AVX2 on there...I want to watch DVDs in the motor and possibly even connect a freeview box too ;)
