Thread: Newbie with a starting project

Just to be sure I understand to what you answered me
Is it possible to connect a volume controller like that:
http://store.mp3car.com/Volume_Contr..._p/com-080.htm
to the FB?

If not, Where do I connect the volume controller?
(I don't really like the Griffin Powermate Volume Knob)
If yes, is there a wheel like the volume but that isn't limited to 1 rotation?
(Using for up\down menu control)

Next Question:
How do I connect the computer to the speakers in the car?
How do I connect to the car radio antenna?
I search for all the information that can help me and I saw that the connector from the car to the radio, there is a connection to the battery:
How do I search for my car connector on the internet?
Is it an option to connect the pc trough this?

How do I connect to the car antenna for this: ?

There was an infinite spin knob in development, I don't know what happened to it. You may want to ask around the FB section. You can also look at these threads for other options:

You may need an adapter to connect your radio antenna. The HQCT has an SMB connection. You can get this: http://store.mo-co-so.com/index.php?...roducts_id=110
It will allow you to plug in any standard motorola connection. Then if your car antenna isn't a motorola connection, you would have to buy an adapter.
For me, I googled "Nissan Antenna Adapter" and found this: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-XAfQi31...a-Adapter.html

Google a wiring harness for your car. If it helps, Metra makes a ton of different wiring harnesses.

Look through the FAQ (Look through the FAQ...it will answer a lot of your questions: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/advfaq.php) and use the Search on the forum. A lot of the questions you ask have been asked many times.

nice summery =] thanks.

now I searched up for a solutions of how to put the screen and the controllers in the car.
but I didnt find a elegant solution that fits me, please help me.

the example car is VW Polo Classic 1997.
Where can I put the screen? I want it over the panel.
Where can I buy the plastic panel? so I could fix it to the screen ( 7" touchscreen)
How do I fix the panel (the plastic)?

If there isn't a way to put it over the panel and this is the last result so the other option is to put the screen on metallic arm that can move and lock.
If so, where can I find a car screen arm that move and lock, need to be small as possible and flexible and convenient for use.
What arm do you recommend me? if theirs one.

It would be great if you can post up some pics of the interior. I have no idea what you're dealing with with the VW Polo.

Can't do it right now but still...
You know where I can find car dash panel parts?

For specific dash parts for your car, I have no idea. You can always make your own
People in the fabrication forum have done some amazing work: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/fabrication/

WOW
There are awesome works!!! really!

but I'm a newbie, I can't find how they do it.
What are the materials they use? From where they get it?
How they make panel from nothing?

How can I make a panel from scratch to my car?
Or where can I find a step-by-step guide for "How to make..." with the materials needed.

Is their any one who can make in for me if he knows what car I'm talking about and how it looks like?

fiberglass

if you want to makte it by someone it could cost like $180---$200

Who can make it for me?
