Very noob question. In-dash connectors

**barker_cry** · 02-08-2007, 11:25 PM

Hi, this is my first post but not the last

I'm thinking to build my carputer, I have the motherboard (epia sp13k), the ram, the dvd writer and the hard drive; now I've to buy the monitor, I want an in-dash one. I think to buy the K500. I'd want to know if I need any adapter to plug the monitor into the DIN: the k500 has the ISO plug as a normal carstereo. I need any other power supply too?

Thank's for your answers.

ISO plug like a normal car stereo?

Every car stereo has their on unique connector. I suggest getting a wiring harness that's specific for your vehicle and wiring to that.

i'm running this screen in my setup mate, its a very good screen. however i had problems with the AV inputs, not sure if they have addressed this issue or not yet, i do know some other people who had similar problems.

The VGA input, USB & touchscreen is outstanding, if you want the best of the bunch this screen is the go. Just dont count on the AV inputs to work. but all the units have their own problems, in my opinion this model is the best.

The back of the unit is exactly the same as a standard cd player. Like the dude above me said go to a car store like autobarn or your american similar (you guys should have autobarn, but i dont know coz i dont live over their) look for a cd player wiring loom for a "whatever car you've got", solder the wires from the loom to the touchscreen's loom plug in and go.

hopefully ive helped, *exhales* might go get a drink now, i talk too much

Ok thank's. I have another question, this is the configuration of my pc: Epia SP13000G, 512 mb ddr-400, dvd writer, hd ata 120 gb, hub usb. Is it possibile that the power consumption is only 31,6 W(www.mini-box.com)???

**HDTechnology** · 02-11-2007, 10:27 AM

if you dont mind me asking, why 31.6W? why so low and so specific?

**bbalazs** · 02-11-2007, 10:50 AM

It is possible, because the VIA gives these values.
I think 31.6 W is the worst case (running Office applications or the load of proc is 100%). Of course this could be elevated by additional USB devices or any other device that consumes energy from the mainboad (additional ventillators, IR devices, a PCI card and other things like that)
