Thread: 2007 Honda Civic SI Coupe Carputer install [Updated]

hahaha i'm a noob lol. I just know computers and electronics on a small pcb level. Like these relays i've never used relays before and couldn't see how they were used for windows but of course after finding out there are SPDT relays. Now it makes perfect sense. On a pcb level we would just use a fet switch.

Hi Bxsteez,

Sorry to hear about your RR issue's, especially as I recommended it so stongly to you but as far as phone control it does not work well on any front-end as of now (mentioned it before get a parrot kit). But voice control does work pretty well in RR I'm currently using it. The setup is a little odd depending on how you want it to respond but it does work.

Yea i found out voice control works on RR but still no OBDII and sadly centrafuses interface is ugly!!! But they do have that nice skype plugin :-D I tried to integrate skype into RR but the window doesn't resize enough to fit. I'll probably use RR to save money but once i get the cash i'll be switching to either centrafuse or streetdeck

As a former streetdeck user I have to admit the interface is nice but I'd stay away from the product at least unit they get their support issues resolved. But keep in mind if you plan on having a large music or video collection on your PC streetdeck is horrible in the manner it handles large collections.

Good luck with the build keep us posted

Yea i'm leaning towards CF until SD gets their stuff together. Who knows though.. I maybe end up liking RR but i doubt it. I mean it looks nice and works nice for what actually works but the rest there is just nothing out there. I dont wanna have to write my own plugin. Like if phone didn't work i'd love to have skype working and maybe be able to use my phone as the internet connection like i do at home when my internet goes out.

quick update.

I have everything except my motherboard now and it looks like that will be delayed a bit do to the extreme flooding in iowa. Take a look

Your motherboard isn't working?? What happens when you power on?
