it looks very nice, im planning to put mine in the trunk tomorrow too... did you have trouble running wires from the vga to the trunk and from the battery to the trunk?
Hello everybody:
First, I would like say excuse me for my english.
And Second, I´d like you enjoy my project couse I´m very proud about that. I think I get car looks like totally original.
Ok,Car is a BMW E39 520I. Screen is LILLIPUT 7¨ touch screen. I was lookig a lot of time for an screen that fits as well as posible in radio hole. So I found one that fits perfectly in high but I´ll had to do an adaptor. It was so easy couse I bought an standard radio adaptor. I opened the screen and did a little bit bigger the adaptor hole. So I attacked de adaptor between trhe two parts of the screen. Them I cut theoriginal moldings an put this at two sides of the screen.SO EASY! But I had a big headhache about that. Ha ha ha.
PC is an Asrock Alive fn6g with 1 gb ram 800, with an AMD LE 1150 in a DM Chassis that was holed in the original navigation place. I had to pass a lot of wires under the rear seats and carpet to the front of the car. I got al the information by Internet (God bless the net!) in mp3 car an solocarputer pages, Ah! Youtube was a good font too.
I´m sorry. I had no photos about the building process because i know this are the more important for people who wants to do similar projects. But I worked all time like a spanish: Improvising JE JE JE.
All right. Here caome sphotos and I hope you like that. If anybody has answer i´ll reply with my poor english hehehe. See you

Not to munch.Only when I had to add 5 or 6 wires ( usb, hub usb, usb screen,vga,power dvd). It is an space cuestion.I had to remove rear seats an central console partially

Hey man, nice clean install overall and I love the CD/DVD mod in the arm rest. Care to share how you managed that one? Nice work!
