Hi guys,
I've been stalking you guys on this site for about two/three weeks now and have started looking into my carputer specs... have decided to go for the carTFT.com travla case deal and seeing it includes everything. As I have not even got the car yet (waiting on a cheque from a client for some outstanding work), I was wondering what I should do for a head unit.
I was interested in getting either a Kenwood one (got my gf one that played mp3s), or even a Sony or a similar manufacturer that provides a line in on the back of the unit via rca's.
Can anyone recommend a unit to me that I can get in the UK that does not need me to do any cludging with its innards to accept that something is connected to the rca ports and swap to the line in on a simple keypress. IIRC I had an old MD head unit with line in and it wouldn't play the game for me at all... and I am not that clever with a clothes iron, let alone a soldering iron.
I also wanna run from the head unit to an amp for my sub/speakers (nothing too noisy, just a little punch). I have a 200w amp, a Kenwood sub gathering spiders and cobwebs in the shed and some kef tweeters and crossovers.
So far I have been pricing up the unit via carTFT.com and its come to just under 700 all in for the EPIA M10000, 256mb ram, 40 or 60gb hd, the Lilliput, gps receiver and touchscreen panel, as well as the ITPS power regulator.
I have attatched my quote, have I missed anything, or can I get some of these bits cheaper elsewhere?
Was considering getting the HD from ebuyer, but not looked into price differences yet.
Anyways let me know... you guys seem to be really helpful... and I look forward to my new mission...
