Toyota/Honda Car2PC adapter beta testing - Page 6

bogdanm · 03-13-2006, 02:32 PM

Hi,

Couple a questions here

- Will it work for a '04 Toyota Corolla (European model)? Probably yes, but I'm just making sure

- Can I install it without voiding the warranty on my car ? (I don't even know where the connector is ... total newbie here).
- Do you ship to Romania?

Thank you,

Bogdan

It will work with you car no prob. Not sure about warranty as you don't have to break anything. All you do is disconnect 1 cable and connect another one in place. If Romania is EU, then it should be no problem to ship there.

I'd hate to beat this to death, but I'm liking the concept but:

As stated in the first post the adapter is for OEM Toyota/Honda makes. Sorry

What's the chance there will eventually be a unit that will work with certain aftermarket hu.. I'd hate to have a toyota or honda HU in my isuzu...no offence of coarse
also, this there a possibility of the HU being controled by the computer?

Understand your frustration. Pioneer adapter will be out in 2 weeks. Alpine AiNet will be next. So at least you have a choice

There is no way to control HU from the PC. They just not designed this way

I see, thank you for your reply.
No EU yet, though

sweeeeeet.. now I need to buy a new deck to replace the old one I replaced with my carputer...

mnapoles · 03-15-2006, 04:36 PM

Ok, so i need a final word here.... as i will be purchasing a unit tomorrow at the latest....

this adapter will have an rca input and the output will be my stock 2003 honda accord HU? allowing me to effectively pipe music from my computer to the aux port on my HU as well as allowing me the ability to assign hotkeys to different buttons on my stock HU...

if this is the case... what item # do i need to buy and where can i find it? sorry about not reading and trying to figure all this out but i need to know by tonight which unit to purchase: car2pc or soundgate.

Please read the first page for more explanations and also the demo movie and a site.
First units ready and will be tested for 1 week internally and right after that the beta testing will start. The final version will be available in 1 month from now.

mnapoles · 03-15-2006, 04:58 PM

oh i was under the impression it was already available. thats a shame i really wanted this unit as opposed to the soundgate but its 1 of the last 3 pieces i need to finish my setup and i want it up and working already. hurry up and finish and let me know where and how much so i can consider replacing the 100$ soundgate :-(

hey jbors,

I have an accord 1999 ex... will the factory double-din stock cd headunit be able to display the name of tracks or track information with car2pc ?

jbors · 03-23-2006, 01:18 PM

Soryy it won't. MBus does not allow it

cenuji · 03-30-2006, 12:03 PM

Would you be willing to release any of the technical details about the CD Changer protocol that Toyota uses and pinouts and such? Is it just a modified version of Mbus or something?

jbors · 03-30-2006, 12:37 PM

Source code for all PC plugins and PyCar will be released under LGPL.
Pinouts and such will be on a web site for your information.
Protocol details cannot be released

Hope this helps.
