Looking really nice, what's that small thing on the glove compartiment...In the end, you've got to love those Toyota interiours...so screen friendly.

hahahah lets hope youre being sarcastic, the **** in the glove box I was just working on, i had to hide it somewhere, thats my USB data cable for the internet, my wireless controller, and the thing at the end, is the USB receiver for the gaming controller...

**PaulDePimp** · 02-11-2005, 07:31 PM

Wait, I mistook you... the thing "ON" the glovebox compartment is a mini-usb keyboard from ebgames... its meant for a PS2, but works with a PC

Hey ! Really nice !!!
Got the same car but 2005 and it's about the only carputer mod I've seen on it !!!

Did you do the screen and radio bezel yourself or you bought them? and where ?

Right now, I'm thinking of hiding the screen where you put the radio, behind the flip cover. (using the in-dash screen (not motorized) from DigitalWW)

You have some pictures of the computer integration? I'm hesitating with two locations: in the dash (but I don't know what it looks like behind the screen ) or in the trunk...

COROLLA RULES !!!!!

**CapitaineFritz** · 02-17-2005, 04:45 PM

Yess baby !

I loooove the look of these last models. I won't be able to put the switch where you put yours on my car because 2005 models have the Security feature, but I'll probably go for an Opus with integrated ITPS, so no need for a switch.

I just really want to know what's behind this dash and if I have enough space to put my Epia there !!!
