BMW 320i Carputer Installation

The installation is finally finished. Current setup includes:

-Travla C134 case
-M10000 M/B
-512MB Ram
-80GB HDD
-Slim DVD
-Lilliput VGA 7" Touch Screen
-Media Engine Front End (I need a BMW skin urgent :( )

The Carputer is powered by a Dual Out DC/DC converter for the Travla case.
I use the project now only for multimedia use: mp3's, movies, DVD's.
Hopefully in the near future it will have some other uses as well.
The audio is amplified by a Pioneer head unit for now, I have some plans that include an AMP and some 8" subwoofers. :tune:

Check out some photos: :cool:

Hey, nice install! I have a question, how did you rename your Auxilary to Carputer on your Pioneer. I have a Pioneer Premier DEH-P350, and I would like to do the same.

Thanks,

In order to rename the AUX input on the Pioneer:
1. Go to AUX mode
2. Press Func and keep it pressed until "TITLE IN" apears
3. Type the title of the AUX input using the cursors on the right
4. Done !
