My carputer project: Solaslim

I like the old school Toyota green lights. I hate the red/orange lights that new Toyotas are using. Looks like they try really hard to be like BMW.

What's this and where can i get one or make one. Was it specific to that cdrom or is it some sort of universal reconfigurable thingy??
I'd love to be able to use a laptop drive!

Can you suggest me a good in-dash,motorized LCD display with VGA input? I need it for connect with the (my future) carputer and no need of S-Video or similar inputs.

Would it be a problem if I use my carputer EPIA c3 800Mhz to connect to the Alpine monitor?

I haven't hook up the carputer to the new Alpine yet because the Alpine has only one VIDEO input. Meanwhile, I could do everything with my Pyle DVD/VCD/mp3 HU right now.

I've never thought of the problem with EPIA & Alpine NTSC yet...

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks.

Is there a web site for the Gain LCD screen that Nthai started out with, or any other Gain screen with VGA?

Thanks

Yes, but so you know, Gain sells only to retailers in quantity

www.gain.com.tw

But you can get the screens from here:

www.dscustoms.com
www.digitalww.com

and ugh... www.xenarc.com

The one I used is called slim laptop CD or DVD rom adapter. It's universal for all the cd-rom or dvd-rom, I think.
You could view more information at this Ebay's auction, he has a ton of adapters there.
