Thread: Romanian car-pc owners

pai poti,dar noi tot putem sa vorbim in romana
legat de un forum...costa timp,bani...nu e chiar asa usor
in schimb ne putem aduna pe un forum cum e patrutuning si desi e un topic acolo pentru carpc-isti putem face o sectiune dedicata acolo...

Desigur, ideea unui forum local este benefica ... in sensul asta pot asigura platforma tehnica server/numedomeniu/forum etc.
Din pacate am vazut ceva incercari care s-au soldat cu esec, adica nu au venit mushterii la discutii. Altfel vorba amicului mai razboinic "Julaikos" sunt ceva topicuri adiacente forumurilor mai mari ... dar lipsite de estenta si vagi.

Of course, I translated all my previous posts and will continue in English.
Thx.

Beginning ... about a year ago.

My car:
Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L 2007

My setup:

CarPC:
CTF400-L VGA 7" TFT Touchscreen USB
Case VoomPC
MB Intel D945GCLF with Atom Duo core 2x1.6Ghz CPU
RAM 1024MB DDR-II 800
M2-ATX 6-24V DC/DC (160 Watts)
HDD 2.5" 80GB SATA

Sound:
Creative USB Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 [I know, BIG mistake]
Amplifier Focal FP 5.500
Speakers MB Quart Premium PVI

Others:
USB GPS Receiver Sirf 3 Navilock
Bluetooth USB Adapter DeLock

Some details of assembly:
CarPC under the right seat driver.
Amplifier mounted on the back seat, in the trunk, with the sound card attached.
Display mounted in the 2DIN dashboard space.

Software:
WIN 7
Centrafuse 3.1
GARMIN
--
Am folosit IGO 8 cu CF 2 apoi odata cu trecerea la CF 3 nu am gasit o metoda sa-l integrez corect. Acum incerc GARMIN.

Issues:
- Highest ... the sound card, known issues allready, I've had it all.
- I have not found a reliable solution for the FM radio,
We have a few options ... or very weak or very expensive.
I do not give that money can buy a DVD player on an FM Radio built into a tin.
- Quality of the microphone, everything that is involved here ... background noise, echo, etc. ... I say this as a Pioneer headunit user with handsfree facility, the Pioneer headunit is amazingly good in terms of mic quality ... on the other side the carPC mic hardware/software is a nightmare.
- Viewing quality on my LCD monitor is very bad, maybe here is my mistake because I did not buy the most expensive model ... but I think it is absurd to spend 350-500 euro for a LCD monitor with such a small screen.

Looking into the future:
Hard to say but I will try.
- First I will try to change the sound card with the oldest Creative Sound Blaster Extigy
- I'll try a dual system, carPC combined with the Pioneer headunit in order to solve the hands-free and radio issues.
In this combination I have a big space issue ... because I have not found a proper place to mount the Pioneer headunit.
- I want to replace the LCD monitor with a better one, do not know yet which model/brand.
- Not nice to say but I thought about the option to dismantle everything and give up the project.
- Subwoofer, MB Quart probably
- Sound/noise isolation with dynamat for front doors and trunk

I recommend opening a new thread over here: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/show-off-your-project/

PS. super sistemul! poze?

The x-fi soundblaster soundcard is a pain. I wanted to use it because of the optic output but I ended up buying a new mainboard with integrated optic.

Foarte important, totul trebuie sa mearga ceas: Daca nu e practic, un sistem carpc poate cauza multi nervi.

I hope to solve the X-Fi problem with my new/old extigy sound card.
Next week I will have an extigy and we will see.

Interesant ce spui ... si si ?!! unde merge mai departe iesirea optica, ai un convertor DAC separat sau un amplif cu intrare optica ?!! sau cum, tare interesant ... ar fi minunat daca ne-am putea intalni ...

Am un procesor de sunet alpine cu 3 intrari optice (PXA-H701 + RUX-C701), sunetul procesat merge la un amplificator 4 canale+ un amp woofer si dupa aia in boxe.

Problema mea cu placa x-fi era cu hibernarea. am incercat tot, dezactivari de placa la hibernare, restarturi automate de winamp, delay-uri dar cad imi era lumea mai draga se bloca ceva.

Despre intalniri, ar fi o idee buna sa impartasim experiente. Eu sunt din Sibiu.

da ... m-am gandit si eu la un momentdat la combinatia asta. La momentul respectiv a parut mai mult decat am nevoie, 4 intrari separate etc ... acum nu-mi mai pare asa fantezista dupa toate problemele pe care le-am avut. Setul se gaseste cam cu 500usd este o varianta de luat in seama, multzam de tip.
Ce placa de baza cu iesire optica integrata folosesti?
Vin des, 1 / luna, la Rm Valcea ... am o casuta acolo la iarba verde ... cu mare drag dau o fuga la Sibiu sa ne vedem la carPC-uri

Placa de baza este ZOTAC ION ITX D-E (with integrated Atom 2x 1.6Ghz CPU, WLAN) [FANLESS]

Am pus 2 gb ram in dual channel. Are accelerare Hd placa video.Eu i-am montat si coolerul la procesor sa fiu sigur.
Carca este Voom pc2.
