Hey guys,

Welll, I am one of the "Lucky" Renault Laguna owners too ;-)

All By All it's a really nice car but the techno stuff that is in it gave me already several headaches before I even started to think about putting in a Carputer ;-)

What I would like to ask you , knowing that you must have some experience with this car as you own one AND have a car pc in it. Does one of you happen to have pictures of the install ? like where you have put the puter itself ? how you implemented the Touchscreen? Do you use GPS and if yes, how did you bypass the radiation blocking windshield which also blocks GPS signals ?

As far as the HUD LCD goes, well.. I've been looking around for that too and there seem to be kits for Sony. I found a company that sells them in the UK but honestly, I wouldn't trust them, looks like a sort of a i'll-scam-you-out-of-your-money-fast kinda site.

I'm not really looking in to it anymore because I don't really want to Pay a couple of hundred 100$ just for an extra radio so I decided to put an FM modulator ( the better kind doing Stereo transmission with a reasonable tone range) and am thinking about adding a nice litte RDS kit which would display information comming from winamp ( which is used by Media car) so my renault LCD display would display the song title and other information when I do some additional coding.

Currently however I am still in dev phase which means I have bought the Lilliput and FM transmitter and am hooking this up to my laptop for the first tests and basically until I have found a place to stash the puter I will end up using
