Alpine screen interface

Interestingly, I have not been able to find the Alpine 740BT on an US based webites or retailers. It looks like it is sold only overseas. Am I missing something?

Car toys had one on Display down in the springs when I was there a month or so ago, Ultimate can get them also. Drop me a PM if you want to do some price checking.

If it can, this would be dyn-O-mite!

I believe the only way to control the H701 with the 740BT would be via the vehicle hub pro add-on.

How long would this interface cable be? My alpine 740BT sits on my dash and the carpc is in the trunk of my car. so maybe a 6 to 8 foot distance to cover. I think the work you are doing is awesome. Oh have you decided on a price for your interface? Sorry for all the questions.

Will you interface work with the Mac Mini as well?

We are using standard vga cable to the converter so it can be as long as you like. Also we will not have a price until the unit is fully tested. I can take a shot in the dark and say probably 200-300.

sitruca, to be honest with you I don't know a damn thing about macs..lol. But if you can get it working on a regular touchscreen is should work for you as well.

Thanks for the info!

What is the interface for the touch screen? Does it require drivers?

The touchscreen interface is also custom made. It will require drivers and will only be for xp/2000. At least for now.
