Changed the main menu to red and put the evil vauxhall badge in the middle.. what you guys think?tacky or nice subtle touch?

Before:


After:



The touch screen itself runs off a p.c with an 80 gig hard drive in the glove box,so it does music,video,sat nav etc etc.

You can, but better (more efficient, smaller) to get a dc power supply. Popular models include m2atx and Opus. Personally I have always built my own powers supplies for my car pcs.

who ever asked the price, the touch screen itself was about £130 and the p.c etc including gps reciever,opus power supply(no need for an inverter and powers up and shuts down automatically when you turn the ignition key) was about another £250


m2rty i actually wish id gone for a 7 inch screen,but when i first started the project i just thought the bigger the better but ive learned since then. is that your corsa in the link? personally i didnt want to get rid or move any of my heating controlls etc.

pow.if you need any help just ask.are you a member of mp3car.com? its a must if your making your own car p.c.

www.digital-car.co.uk is also worth a look. I'm on both sites under the same username as here.
And www.linitx.com is good for bits and pieces (uk based company with an excellent reputation).
