Today, I've all of parts for my project.

LCD : HF701T 7" VGA Touchscreen

PC : MCS made : Intel D201GLY with 1.33Ghz celeron, 512M DDR2, M2-ATX 160W, MCS box, HHD Toshiba 20Go 2"1/2, External HDD Samsung 80Go 2"1/2, Muse LT Pocket USB sound card, running with XP N'lite + RR.

Audio :
Front : O² Speaker + GM-600 Pioneer
Rear : JBL Speaker + Rockford PUNCH 100X2
And a JVC source to get the radio (but planning to buy a HQCT)

Now, the most difficult works are coming, installing all of this parts in my car

Soon, some pics of this install ... I hope

My car :

Some news.







The carputer is mounted, fully fonctional.
I'm testing 2 GPS software : Igo8 and Sygic drive.

Now, it's time to build a front console to hide my PC.
The plans:

My GM-600 died.
Will be replace by a 2X35W Alpine

Test phase:



Center console ready.
Made with medium and beech
2 switchs (1/ start the PC, 2/start the amps)
Coolermaster musketeer : Audio VU-meter, Temp sensor and fan speed regulator.



In the car.






Just a problem.
I've some noises in the front HP.
The positive cable is plug directly to the battery, negative cable directly to the car (20cm / 8"), Triple shielding RCA cable.Try to change my amp with a jensen 2X20W RMS, same problem.

I'll try a ground loop isolator.

No problem with the rear speakers.

RR out, replaced by Centrafuse.
new GPS software : Sygic Drice 7.5.

I tried many frontends but I didin't like anyone, just StreetDech, but itś to expensive.
What is your front end, is it realy good and free?? :-D

Yes, I'm using Centrafuse (beta version)
I'll finaly buy this frontend soon.
