This is my PC: ATX

and this my TrackBall: LEDs are the Buttons (it is an old pic, because now i have a touchscreen, and don't need the trackball any more. The bad thing is, when you are driving, you must search for the arrow. With the touchscreen you dont need an arrow.)

Oooo. That LCD install is smooth. Where are your HVAC controls? Did you replace the headunit with an amp?

I just gotta ask dude... where're your A/C controls?

Glove box?? maybe?

or "I don't need no stinkin A/C!! punta!

Very nice, and how cool to have a Firebird in Austria...

I'd like to see it with the screen on, that thing looks nice and big.

One question, what did you do with the HVAC controls?

Hi!

Thanks!
Well, i really like my Firebird, and have a kind of US Car Club in Austria.

I will put the controls instead the three air outlets at the top of the screen.
The only thing I have to do is to wire the 5m VGA cable.
The power unit will be ready in a few days. (12V to ATX)

That's huge!

Very nice install. Have you considered trying to make your HVAC controlled via software? I think that would be really slick (not that it's not already really slick

)

Sweeet! That's a really nice LCD frame.

Now that is just awesome.

Yes, this is a good idea!
I can controll the HVAC with step motors (I hope it is called like this) by USB.
The circuit for that is no problem.
Combined with a temperature messurment module, I could set a temperature on my screen, and the PC will regulate it automatically. Klima automatic
