What name brand headuit touchscreen integrates with carputer?

**lr3guyjoe** · 09-03-2009, 01:17 PM

I have a friend that wants to do a carputer after seeing mine. He would rather go with a name brand (Pioneer, jvc etc etc...) head unit that has a touchscreen either pop out or double din and add a carputer to that. Do any of them have the capability of integrating the touchscreen into using the carputer?

i beleive that there is a hack for a alpine unit, but other than that, there really isn't-- and lilliput and xenarc are name brands :P, he just hasn't heard of them yet

Yeah he just dosent want to have to build a system with a front end I think he would just like to be able to access the computer for internet and movies and stuff.

then your friend is in the wrong hobby for sure. Tell him to go away now before he spends boatloads of cash and ends up in therapy. Maybe next year he will see the light and be ready to do it right, but seriously if he doesnt want to do the basics, he probably cant do it at all.

quote of the year.

even after getting most everything to work great and reliably, i cant de-salt my memories of learning this hobby. you cant half-*** these projects in any form... as soon as you cut a corner you will get bit and the memories will start to accumulate.

haha i think it's interesting to integrate the touchscreen into using the carputer. But is it ok?
