When you turn your key it will act as if you pressed the power button your computer, when you turn the ignition off it will send a signal to the computer telling it to shutdown, then after about 10 mins (if the computer hasnt shutdown already for some reason) it will automatically cut power.

I think touchscreen is the best! No need for a mouse, you can touch the play buttons, stop next, everything else you can do with a mouse all while driving. plus its much cooler!

Sounds like you have a pretty tight system.

O shi! It sounds like something I need Bad!!!!! I hear about people using them (from here in the forums) but where can I get pics of what they look like? (on top on my screen) My 7" display hides itself (see above) would this still work?

Also, if this is the case, I guess I could sell my 6 disk DVD player (my carputer has a DVD cd rom) I could also sell my T.V. turner, as well as my Nav system?

I see other have built a nav system into their carputer? I am looking into seeing how this was done.

Again, This touch screen Display sound like it will work for me. TY for your info!!!!
