Has anyone finished an "MP3car" setup yet? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #26096 12 posts Started by CJOHNST3
Has anyone ventured forward on an MP3 setup? Lilliput or Xenarc, GPS or no - MAC or Intel?

There's some cool setups out there, yet I haven't seen anyone with a 6GC complete one. All this talent on this site, and no one?.....Or am I just missing the thread?

Orvillescelica has a car PC setup as well.

New Toyota project coming soon...
mine is almost done, hope to finish the dash panel this weekend. i've got an xbox in the boot, 7" lcd in dash, and soon a custom controller mounted in the dash. xbox is fully customised to be an 'in car' pc. will post pics next week hopefully.
Im currently gathering all the parts. Will be using a Mac Mini and 7 inch Liliput touchscreen.
I have/had most of the parts, but figured the weather around here changes to much that the pc would crap out and its not worth it. It would only be worth it to me if it was like a show car or somthing.

The pict below is my fuel guage for my carPC (get it?)
The 3 switches are:
-Interior lighting
-Exterior lighting
-CarPC master switch

On top of the gauge is the power and hd activity LED along with power and reset (lost the top of a button while installing, didn't glue them on yet.

how do you put a screen in the dash like that? i want to put a lcd screen in there but i don't know how exactly i would mount it. and where i'd put my headunit at... any help?
you could relocate your HU inside the glove box or you could get this.

to fit the screen in there... be ready to cut and break stuff out of the way. Before doing any destruction, take all the mesurements of everything, the LCD casing, the internals, the dash peice, inside clearance, etc... Put it all together and you should be able to see what needs to be cut. No room for error here, your screen's warranty will be void so be very careful.

Important:
Do not cut the two middle tabs that are holding the dash peice
Put LCD internals in static bags when you're not handling them

PM me if you want more details

Good luck >wink.gif>
