Not xrs but xr. I was planning for the xrs at first but I realize that I just need a small, cheap, multi-purpose and easy on gas so I get the xr.
I already have the supra for my other fun

2zz is not really needed, but hey I can always pop in a SC right?

ah.. right on.... yeah.. there's a few forced induction options comin down the line for the 1zz... lucky for you, they're all based out of socal

So how's everyone doing with their CarPC? It's getting closer to the meet. I hope everyone's able to make it. I notice there arent that many posts lately. I hope everyone's still motivated and excited about the meet.

I just need to reprogram the Alpine remote control to work with girder.
Another problem I am currently running in is the Audio part. I can't get my Alpine HU (TDM-7534S) to take the aux input. In the mean time I am using the tape adapter.
Other than that, I am set.
BTW I haven't get the GPS cuz I dont' need one yet.

just got my whole computer together, unfortunatly ran out of $$ for a screen as of right now. Still looking for a way to get one by the meet but uncertain.

guru_del · 11-13-2003, 12:03 PM

oh hey matrix, on alpine HU you need to turn on the aux input, I had to do this however some alpines you loose a pre-amp output by doing such.

BoraXP · 11-13-2003, 12:12 PM

im all set

BoraXP · 11-13-2003, 12:13 PM

any no-screeners want me to bring my broken-by-ups tm 701L for test fittings?

00CericaRuss · 11-13-2003, 12:58 PM

my carputer's been installed

cpro - how long is your obdII cable and your cliffnet cable btw?

carabuser · 11-13-2003, 01:04 PM

cproaudio: no screen, dunno if i'll get one by the time of the meet, so I'll probably hook up my laptop...

BoraXP - it'd be kool if you could bring the broken one.

I have a 10' serial extention cable that I can use for the obd-2 scanner. ciffnet cable is barried in my dash.Theres no way in hell I can take that out. I'll see if I can borrow another one.

00CericaRuss · 11-13-2003, 02:07 PM

I've got a cliffnet cable, just no free serial ports

ooh.. i think i might have a usb-> serial adapter somewhere

MatrixPC · 11-13-2003, 02:08 PM

I already had the KCM-122B adapter from Alpine but this adapter is only work for the Versatile-Link ready HU (2001+ models). Mine HU is not Versatile-Link ready and it's a 95 96 model year.
The only option I have is some how trick the HU into thinking that there is a changer attach to it.
Any other info?

BoraXP · 11-17-2003, 01:09 AM

i have this wierd habbit of being extremely early so i wouldnt doubt that ill be the first one there
if im not or if i am try to set up in one of the corners or near one, that way theres only four places to look

anyway this is (a horrible picture of) my car if you see it your there

cproaudio · 11-17-2003, 01:33 AM

Hey if you're early, you can always walk around Fry's. You can find a cardboard and write MP3Car and leave it on your windshield, that way the rest of us know it's your car and wait for you. If you have a pager for your alarm, we can always set off your alarm and you can come running out of Fry's. Or we can write down your license plate and have one of Fry's employee anounce over the PA that your car's being towed so get your *** out here.
