Thread: 2003 Ford Ranger FX4 Install (Lots of pics)

TBird:

Where did you purchase that 120* cam?

Install looks great!

I actually uninstalled it.. I can sell it to you if your interested.

Thanks

I just installed my molded screen / bezel this weekend. It doesn't look GREAT but good enough for me. Will post pics..

Tbird, could you let me know the brand/model number of that camera?

Thanks. I may be interested depending on the brand/model and price.

Just read your whole thread. Great Install!!! not only the CarPC but the whole center console, Dimm MIrror, thing is awsome (to say the least). I have a '00 Explorer, and since they're not that many installations posted here, I'll take as an example (and inspiration) your mods. Have a couple of questions/requests. Some link posted here are non working. So could you point me in te right direction as how to get the Dim Mirror setup. I think that is the simples mod of them...

Thanks

Here is John Grigg's cardomain site.. It has a boatload of info on most of the mods I did..

-------------------------- VERSION 2 -----------------------------

I have recently upgraded my carputer because the EPIA M10000 and laptop HDD just weren't fast enough for my liking.. This required me to scrap my mini plexi case and go mini atx (not micro atx). I ended up building a wood box and placing it directly behind my seat. Sure.. It's A LOT bigger but it is square and I can still sit things on top of it..

Carputer V2 Specs:

Biostar Geforce 6100-M7 Motherboard
AMD Sempron 64 2600
512MB PC2700
Seagate Barracuda 80GB SATA150
M2-ATX PSU
DVD/CDRW Slim
Xenarc TSV
Rikaline 6010 GPS,
Zonet ZEW2500P IEEE802.11b/g 54Mbps Wireless USB2.0
Zonet ZUB6111C USB 1.1 Bluetooth Dongle
MPX220 Cell Phone

Other changes since the original install are that I also molded the Xenarc into the radio bezel. This being the first time I have ever worked with bondo and crap it didn't come out GREAT but it did come out descent enough for me..

MIC (being held by my finger cuz I need some doublesided tape or velcro)



CASE

How well does the mic work with the windows down, stereo up, etc?

I've thought about adding one to mine to control my custom software but am not sure how well it would pick up commands and haven't had a chance to try.
