I wanted to put the entire PC into one of the small rear compartments.. I had to cut it all up and double sitcky everything in place… but it all fits perfect!! Note: the huge ATX power supply is just for setup and testing:

Front view of the slot.. power supply is on the right, HD is above that velcroed into place. I opted to go without an optical drive because I already have a modchipped Xbox and my headunit is MP3 capable.

My car torn apart:

The first fitting of the PC.. perfect!!! (sorry kinda dark)

My car back together again

iGuidance v2.0.. love it!! ..(I roof mounted the antenna)

I wanted to be able to hear the voice navigation while I’m listening to the radio and since I don’t care about using the PC for MP3 or media files, I tore apart an amplified desktop PC speaker and wired it into my car. ghetto I know but it works!!

Here’s a pic of the mounted Elm Scan OBDII blackbox and ghetto speaker setup..LOL

Close up daytime pic of horsepower datalogging and the Lilliput. There was a lot of cutting necessary to fit this screen. If I had to do it again, I’d go Xenarc instead.. The lilli works great but was a little too much aggravation to setup. For the Z owners out there, you'll probably notice that I'm using a 2003 Nav pocket/door.. the 2004 door sucks!

Wireless surfing..secure your networks people

an added bonus: reverse camera

Can you show pics of the roof mount gps? I'm curious on how you did it. That's a cool install man.

**Pudge** · 09-06-2004, 01:39 PM

Looks sweet dude~! do you have a pic of the dash with the cover down that goes over the monitor? Or at least that's what it looks like. Nice work.
