Thread: Ok Im a Newb

Hello, this is my first attmept of doing this car pc thing. After reading the forums for about a couple weeks I finally decided this weekend to at least get this thing started. This past sunday I went in to look to see what type of amp i have and what I will need to make this project work. The car I have is a 2001 Mercedes Benz CLK430. The radio is not the factory head but it is a pyle tv and dvd player that doesnt work. The amp that is being used is factory and from what i can tell i think whoever did the installation used the factory amp and wires to plug into a harness to the aftermarket radio. Now there are a couple of things I have questions about. Well before the questions let me explain the setup I want to do. I want the lillput 7 inch t.v. that is on this site for sale. The pc I will be using is a custom built p4 intel board at 1.8ghz with a 250 gig hd and 512 mb of ram. Everything is onboard (ie the soundcard, network, usb, and vga display) The power supply I want to use is the opus 150w dc to dc. Now that my setup is explained what I need answered is the yellow wire on the opus for the igniton how do I find that wire in my car and will i need to make it work. As far as turning on the pc will it automatically boot up with the power supply described? and the last question how do I connect the opus to my existing (factory) amp without replacing it? As you can tell Im not a wire/electrician kind of person but am willing to learn, as I have searched all over these forums for my answers but cannot seem to find. Im sorry that this is a long post but I felt the need to be detailed so I can get my newbie questions answered. Thanks for the time everyone
