Beautiful car.
Can you give us more info on how you did the CD Rom?
Audio Rockford Fosgate: 900 Watt 4-channel amp, 501bd Mono amp
Computer AMD 2400+ XP, 1 GB DDR RAM, Orbit Micro 250W DC-DC PSU
Head units are for cheaters!
sure some girls fake orgasms.....but it's guys like me who fake the whole relationship
I plan on keeping the text LCD even after I get a VGA screen, even if for nothing more than to display song info while driving.
The CD-ROM I bought a really long time ago to use with my laptop which doesn't have a built in one. It draws it's power directly from the USB port, so it's just 1 USB cable to plug in and you're done. If I want to transfer files with it, I need to lug one of my CRT's out to the car so I can see what I'm doing.
ah, so it's meant to be external. What's the brand of it?

Where do you have the reciever for the remote?
Pioneer DEH7600MP, Autotek MX-800.4, JL Audio XR650-CSi, Adire Audio Shiva

Yes, it's an external slim lineOriginally Posted by lgbr
You can see it in this picture, in the pocket under the radio (it's got a door that I can close when I'm not using it):

One piece of advice, extend the IR sensor then drill a hole in the dash somewhere for it. Nice work!
