double indash (2x Lilliput 7" motorized) in Golf IV

Hi there!

This is my first post here, although I've been reading mp3car.com for long time ... I usually participate in a Spanish forum www.solocarputer.com and I just wanted to say hello to everyone (cool forum and super-useful information, guys!) and to present my little experiment here.

When I first thought about installing a carpc, I didn't like the idea of having a little (7" or 8") monitor and tried to install a normal desktop TFT, but failed miserably; there was no room to place such a thing, it would be _very_ notorious from the outside, and it wouldn't even look good from inside.

The solution proposed was very simple: multiply

At first it was intended to be used as a simple multi-monitor carpc; but now I'm into using it to be able to run both Linux and Windoze at the same time, using a spare laptop.

More info, pics, and some videos in

http://www.solocarputer.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=4991

and

( Again, thanks to everyone for your contribution to the "carpc science" )

Cheers!

when shifting, how do you not hit the bottom screen with your knuckles?

longer? you want a shorter shifter so that it goes under the lcd. A longer one will just make you hit it sooner but at a higher height

Even with the inverted screen a little bit angled, I have no problems to change gears. I have to be careful when opening and closing it, but that's ok for me

Hey, I saw this idea before, but you're the first to do it that I've seen! Really cool! Now someone needs to outdo you and have FOUR! HAHAHA...

Good luck on your exams.

very innovative, but I have to ask why?

I drive a MKIV GTi as well, and I can't even imagine having another screen down there, let alone going through the process to close the bottom screen....

think you could get a video of the whole process? (opening and closing of both screens)

The original idea was to simultaneously run different programs such as gps nav and the multimedia player, but then I realized it could be even more useful to have two computers.

There are some videos available -opening and closing- , just follow the links a few posts up
