99 Civic 4DR Sedan, 7" touchscreen D945GCLF2 console carputer (FOR SALE)
Unit is for sale, please check post #38 on 4th page
Hello guys, it is my second Carputer
Actually I have done my first Carputer in 5 and half years ago, but I never post it in here, you can check it from my blog (forget the texts, picture tells all)
It was installed on my Civic 4DR Sedan.
Section 1, monitor
Section 2, console
Section 3, assembly
Five years ago, ITX board and 7" VGA touchscreen were way too expensive, so I used large LCD and put motherboard in trunk.
Now, D945GCLF2 is dam so cheap, so, it is the time for my second Carputer.
The project is mainly on building the case. It took me a month to complete the whole thing.
