Thread: Fresh CarPc-er...;)

Here's a good start: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/advfaq.php
There are write-ups that discuss power supplies in-depth. I'm certain you can come up with a unit that will meet your needs by doing some reading.

Thanks Mate---This is the best explained I've ever imagined...As soon as I arange to fix my power problems,I'll post It...Thanks again,I gues I wasn't searching so deeply...

I've already tried 30A Fuse and guess what???My wires started to overheat (2mm2 radius)...And why?Because on the same fuse is connected lighter (using diferent devices),carpc (via 12-220V inverter)+Lcd+4-chanel Amplifier+parking sensor system...Now you get the picture...the wireing in my car is just catastrophical...Only solution that I see,is Direct connection to battery,but how to get to it,via FireWall?...i have VW Sharan,any ideas how to do this?...I meant to use 4-6mm2 wire and at least 40A fuse...If someone done it,please let me know,Thanks!

Look closely at the firewall. There are often rubber grommets that cover holes in the firewall and you can remove them and pass the wire through the grommet (make sure you use a grommet around the wire to keep it from chafing and shorting out).

If there is no hole, drill one. You can see how I passed mine through the firewall in the video in my signature link. Again, make sure you use a grommet so the wire doesn't chafe. The video doesn't show that.

Thanks M8...I saw your masterpiece---Good Work!
I've alreadey got "connected" on battery using 40A and 30A fuses (got idea from you)...I've already ordered DC-DC converter (100W will be enough I supose),and now when It comes,I hope everything will be working like I planed...
Now I have a very important thing to ask...

Is there possibility,that my pc works 24/7 and that I install USB camera,and then I can see from my home pc what is going on in my car?I think that way I can control my car all the time and prevent from being stolen...Thanks for answers...

sure it's possible.
You can put a lot of batteries in the car.
You can also put a mini nuclear reactor in the car
or you can also run a power wire from your house to the car.

OR you can get a wireless ip camera in the car connected to your network, that would be easier.

HEHEHEEH....Man I got laugh...

###You can also put a mini nuclear reactor in the car###---i think i'll do that...
I have in mind putting a solar plate (charging durring the day),and at night It would be running on batteries...Seriosly,I'm living on 16-th floor,and last time my alarm turned on,I actualy saw some guys sneaking around,but until I could dress and come down the car would be gone a long time ago...Here in Slovenia VW and AUDI are being stolen every day---They ship them to suth (Balkan) where they can be reseled or used for parts...

I don't see how a camera will change that problem. You'll simply be able to watch your car get stolen. Better choice is to remove the battery so the car doesn't start, or install an aftermarket switch that thieves wouldn't commonly know where it is located.
