    2000 BMW e46 laptop based carputer project

    Finally I'm posting a few pictures of my carputer. It's running reliably like this for about 8-9 months now.

    Some notes:
    - Copilot v9 for navigation
    - Frodoplayer with separate day and night skins
    - SVEN4 to connect Audigy 2 ZX to Harman Kardon amp (I know, volume is low; solution coming soon (keyword: TDA7053A)
    - Carpcpro power controller
    - Laptop in the trunk (trunk pictures coming later)
    - Steering wheel buttons are integrated through hacking the I-bus (vol up/down, next/prev song, switch between apps, mute/pause)

    Thanks. Red skin gets activated automatically at night, and is showing too bright than actual in the picture above. Without this monochrome red skin, the screen is too bright & distractive for nighttime driving.

    most front ends, have a time that you set in the options, that changed the skin depending on whatever time you have it set at
