Planning & researching your entire setup.
You run a wire through a rubber grommet. There should already be one there for you to use.i thought about it and think it would probably be getting power through the firewall, just exactly how does that work?
Read the power supply FAQs: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/advfaq.phpgetting power to the carpc??
If you don't feel comfortable running the wire, then yes.would you guys suggest a professional to get the power routed through the dash.
I agree, but I heard DP is for hire, so that makes it much easier.
Just be careful if your antenna cable is going through the one you find already, running a big power cable parallel to the antenna cable could lead to reception noise.
$100/hour with a one-hour minimum.I agree, but I heard DP is for hire, so that makes it much easier.
That does not include travel and/or expenses.
That's right, I bill you for the coffee & donut that I consume while talking to you on IM!
very good point.
The same can be said for running a power wire next to any signal cables such as those for satellite radio or GPS reception or speaker wires.
Granted, none of these should be running through a vehicle firewall. the general idea is to keep power lines & signal lines as far away from one another as possible.
Admitting you have a problem when at the addiction clinic.
Fabricating/stealth install of the screen.hello whats the hardest step in installing a carpc??
Running wires through the firewall is easy peazy - A drill and a grommit is all you need.
the hardest part?
All depends on where you specific skills and abilities lie...........
Some people have issues with the computer part, some with the install itself, the audio components, the screen mounting and bezel, making it look professional, peripherals, etc, etc...........
It all depends on your abilities.
