Thread: 02 Jetta Worklog

Need help, im still trying to decide between various parts so i can get a decent car pc from the begining.

I plan to have all the main things like GPS Navigation, Touchscreen for user-friendly interface, bluetooth for phone integration and wifi so i can download new multimedia from my home computer into my car pc.

This is what i have so far but i am having trouble deciding between products. Especially the motherboard, i mean the EPIA M10000 is a 1ghz CPU with small motherboard for $150. on ebay there is a Intel P4 2.8Ghz LGA775 CPU + ECS Motherboard Combo for $164. i know the dimensions are a bit bigger comparing at 17x17 to 24x22 i think.

LCD Display i am going with the Lilli 7" 629GL-70NP


Power supply i came up with the OPUS 150W but depending on what motherboard i am using i may need to change that.

For GPS i am going with the Rikaline Destinator bluetooth GPS Navigation Receiver. Also comes with software which is good.

still not sure what DC-DC converter or WIFI card, but that shouldnt be a probelm i am just concerned about the motherboard and CPU mainly and once i order those then i can focus on the other components immediatly.

So basically what is the most reccomended setup you think I should go with, keep in mind i live in canada with cold harsh winters, and humid summers.
Thank You
