Thread: Chrysler 300 Touring CarPC build/install with pictures

I know exactly what you're talking about - I don't like the whole "racing theme" because let's be honest here; where in the hell are you going to drive 100 Mph in US??? Therefore I went with classic slick look

wait untill I get my hands on exterior of this car I'm thinking body kit and 22" rims just to set it off

Actually i like my racing seats, just not with TVs in them. I also see no point in having two 7 inch screens if everyone in the back can just look at one big 15-17 inch screen. Me, Im a muscle car person, but because of family, i needed a large car. Had a Jeep Cherokee, it exploded, so i went to replace it with a new one. When I saw the Shelby SP 360 (Dodge Durango redone by Shelby). I bought the truck so fast. My plans are to get the Super Pursuit body kit, upgrade headers and exhaust, and remove the speed limiter so I can go over 110..... I want 22's also. Kenisis makes a nice all black rim with a rid lip, so niceeeeeee. To me the 300 should always be a classy car.... To me its like the Bentley of America.....

Um, guys:

Racing seat:



Factory "racing" seat (more accurately called a highback bucket):



Huge difference.

That being said, there's nothing wrong with putting your monitors in the headrest portion of highback buckets. It's entirely up to the owner if they like the look or not.

A nice big screen for rear seat passengers is great if you have the room for it. Just make sure you secure it adequetly or it'll "take your head off" on it's way out the windhield in a front end collision. That's apretty large screen to secure to a roof panel............even 4 lbs is alot of weight in a collision. The inertial forces can get pretty high, build the mount big and strong. Absolutely nothing wrong with it if it's built right though...........
One large screen also does away with the need to split the signal and associated quality degredation.

In tighter compartments, individual screens are just as good because the picture is right there in front of you. You also don't have to worry about them flying around in a collision.

It all depends on what works best for you..............

Oh yeah, you used to be able to do 100 mph (and more) in the US. It was on a road nicknamed the "Montanabahn"..................daytime speed limit of "reasonable and prudent".

The prudes in gov't mucked that one up too.............

I didnt know they were called highback seats, there still that one piece design, one is just more comfortable. Either way, I think it looks ugly on a single piece seat like that, i have seen other Durangos with it, plus on your seats you can adjust the screens up and down, I wouldnt. How do they secure large screens to the roof anyways? I pulled my headliner off and it has nothing to lock onto. Do they weld it on? Maybe what i can do is attach like a safety line, so that in an accident, the screen can come off, but the line would keep it from flying forward. I think maybe Im going to have professionals do the large screen.

I'm not from US and I know how it feels to drive on Autobahn - experienced it for many years

and i think you should have same here in US - I mean isnt it ironic to have 8 lane traffic and in very last left lane you have little old lady doing 50 MpH on her way to the church, and it's absolutely legal - in Germany you would get a ticket for something like that

Yea, Im from Germany. Remember when we built the autobahn, we built it to last forever. America is cheap and uses thin asphalt to pave its roads, the autobahn is made of huge chunks like 1 story tall. So going fast on our roads is unsafe. One pothole and it will send the car flying..... It also depends. I noticed driving from Miami to Tampa, that in Miami you have to deal with slow poeple driving in the left lane.... towards the middle of the state everyone moves over, then as you get towards tampa, everyone drives dumb again.

I absolutely agree - also their "driving culture" is horrible

they will create traffic for hours just to look on the accident hoping to spot some blood-how ironic

by the way my grandfather helped build the Autobahn

hey Jack - I wonder if I can use my PC Power Supply (Idon't know if it's ATX) to test my CarPC ???

I have Pentium 4 at home, would the instructions you gave me apply to this one?

how about if I connect it directly to the car battery ???
