Thread: Audi A6 C5

I finally got around to doing it, it's still a W.I.P., but who's isn't? lol

Parts list

Intel D945GCLF2 Atom 330 Mini ITX Motherboard/CPU
2GB of RAM
16GB Solid State Disk for Windows (Running TinyXP 09 w/ MinLogin)
320GB WD Scorpio Laptop Disk for media and maps (Built in ShockGuard tech)
TrendNET USB Bluetooth dongle
Pinnacle HDTV USB TV Tuner (with FM Radio and DVR functionality)
BU-353 GPS Reciever
LinkSys a/b/g USB WiFi dongle
Dynamix 710 Touchscreen LCD (UltraBright)
M2-ATX-HV PSU
Metra Dbl Din Mount Kit
Metra Wire Harness for Symphony Systems
SoundMax Stereo MIC
Morex 5677 Mini-ITX Case

I took the Metra Double DIN Mounting kit and decided to mount the Headrest kit that came with the Dynamix monitor.





I added a USB port as well, but after a test fit, I sadly had to remove it (Just didn't fit in the Audi dash)

I also drilled 2 pilot holes for the SoundMax MIC



Here the MICs are added and flushed up, some bondo, and alil glaze, and some sanding.



Out in the sun to dry after a couple coats of flat black.



Kinda a crappy pic, but she's inside and dry =)




I ended up getting both the 320GB spinning disk and 16gb SSD mounted inside the case, the WiFi adapter and BlueTooth dongle wired inside.

The TV/FM Tuner sits external as it doesn't work with CentraFuse so I use the Tuners remote to launch, control and close it's own TV / DVR application



Ready to install



The screen doesn't sit as far into the dash as I would like it, stock was about an inch back.



I'm still working on the CentraFuse skin I made for my A6, but most of it is done






And the baby she sits in



I still have to mount the PC under the dash and put the dash back in, I'm debating the FusionBrain so I can use the Steering wheel controls. But so far I love it!

Can any one recommend a good noise filter? I have the BOSE sound system in my car, and the amps are picking up horrible engine noise and alil from the PC
