Help choose lcd and software

**dark_luna** · 09-22-2006, 09:29 AM

Hello everybody!

My first post in this forum.

Just started my pc in car project and need some help.

The plan is to build on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 laptop,
that have nice features like wifi, bluetooth etc. from stock.
A usb gps receiver will also be added.

I need help to choose I good 7" touchscreen and what
software to run. I have no experience with Linux so
I think XP is to prefer.

It must be easy to operate thru the 7" touchscreen
any have features as mp3, movies, gps.
To be able to ge information thru OBD-II would also
be nice but that is just optional.

well, since no one has answered, i'll try to be nice

the screen your looking for, depends on the install/money you want for it.., people say Xenarc and Lilliput are the best, but which one is best for you, depends on where/how you want to mount it, and how much money you want to spend, check out the LCD sub-forum

software? go to the software subforum, and look through the "Frontend" section, front ends basically do what you want, video/mp3/gps/internet/obd2..

but, just so you dont get.., belittled, by people on this board, i HIGHLY recommend searching for quite a few hours before posting anything, your answers are very basic, have been covered hundreds of time, and some people arent as nice as me, and might flame you for questions as basic as these..
