good meet guys...
i guess installing cliffnet killed my copy of copilot somehow... i ended up leaving trying to figure out where the hell the freeway was w/out gps, and w/out recollection of where i came from since i was so zoned out after the drive.

so yeah... copilot won't start, i even tried uninstalling, reboot, reinstalling a couple times when i was trying to find the damn freeway in anaheim.. blah... and mediacar's screwin up on me too.. how's that for crap

cproaudio · 11-22-2003, 05:56 AM

Oops, I unplugged your Copilot USB

00CericaRuss · 11-22-2003, 06:02 AM

haha..nope... not that... the installer can't register some mfc42.dll along w/some other crap.

when i try to start copilot, it brings up the splash screen, then gives me some dialog box w/an error... won't even get to any screen

oh... and damn you chung for turning off your messenger service.. i was trying to net send you some little love letters in the carl's jr drive thru lol

cproaudio · 11-22-2003, 07:14 AM

LOL that was funny. sorry dude.

Well I dont have any pics to show. The meet went really well. It's cool to see so many people there. I'm trying to remember who ran what.

jspeeder9 drives a red Prelude he's using an Armen's 701 monitor. The screen is WVGA but the controller is composite. He used to run a laptop but now he's running a VIA M10000 AC inverter with ATX PSU. He's running Copilot 2K3 and MyHTPC

MatrixPC drives a white Supra. he's using a PS1 LCD modded for VGA input. he has a clear case for his PC with AC inverter and ATX PSU. He said he didnt have any noise problems.

carabuster drives a white Maxima. I dont remember what screen he was using. He's using a laptop. I think his audio is through an aux in to his deck.

I dont remember who drives the older Mustang. He has a bad *** install. custom dash with 12.1" touch screen. Alpine remote integrated into the steering wheel, cell phone molded into the dash next to the LCD screen. ALpine DSP/EQ and vents in the headliner by the sunvisor. audio through Alpine deck. amps and subs and speakers were home audio equipment. He's running a Shuttle XPC with audigy, Gyration KB.

SinnerG drives a white Blazer. He didnt have his system up and running yet. Maybe next time.

phc drives a white WRX wagon. He didnt have his system up yet either but is working on a PC with screen to fit in the double DIN spot.

BoraXP drives a white Jetta. I didnt get a chance to check out his system before he left.

I dont remember who drives the S-10. he's using a 2nd gen Xenarc screen painted black. He built a false floor in the back to house the PC. He's using a sumicom CD-ROM sized PC, Gyration KB.

00CelciaRuss has a 7" touch screen molded into his dash. we setup our WiFi and transfer some files for his PC. When he was copying my files, I was all, holy ****. this is the freaking future. He's car is receiving data from my car and we're all just standing around talking. He's running a mini-ITX board. He has an JL 500/5 to a 12W7. He has 2 LCD screens mounted in the trunk.

I showed everyone my setup. I had my laptop rolling up and down my windows, opening both doors and start up my truck via WiFi and VNC. I showed the OBD-II, Cliffnet, GPS nav, wireless internet, and my good ole Winamp with big buttons and cover art.

I think I got everyone.

I answered some questions regarding my setup. I forgot who it was that brought to my attention that I didnt talk about how my system's powered and the wiring. I'll do that when I get a chance.

1 problem that alot of people have there is the computer freezes or reboots when starting. Opus or a Tank circuit can fix that.

anyone else has any inputs?

SinnerG · 11-22-2003, 11:15 AM

cproaudio-
That was everyone ecxept the guy who had the WRX with the custom aluminum case and Lilliput combined together (looked really nice). Also, I was trying to help out a guy (dark curly almost dreadlocked hair) that had a prob with an inductor (sorry forgot your name).

The guy in the Mustang was an installer from a local shop that I ran into and told him about the meet (as well as the forums). He just happened to have a computer in the car.

All in all, it was an impressive meet.

OOps, PHC is accounted for

jspeeder9 · 11-22-2003, 11:32 AM

That was a great meet guys! Way better than our first one. That old Mustang and his 12" LCD owns me

I wished I could've stayed longer last night. Anyways lets keep it going. I'm up for the next meet. MP3car.com rules!!!!

welthqa · 11-22-2003, 01:29 PM

I also wish I could have stayed longer. Seeing everyone's setups really renewed my sort of waning interest in doing my install. I'm eager to get it all set up so I can show you all at the next meet.

Magenus · 11-22-2003, 02:27 PM

Great meet!! A plethora of information to digest will produce new ideas and directions to take the carputer to new levels. I can't wait to get started! Everyone had the coolest systems in their own respect. I personally thought it was awesome to see how each system was customized according to each vehicles attributes. Great job everyone! Hopefully we all can meet again.

carabuser · 11-22-2003, 04:15 PM

Yes, I'm finally online again, and here are some pics, sorry for the quality and sorry that there aren't so many of 'em, but here's what I got
it's right here

and yes, a GREAT meet, so many things to learn...

it'd be very cool if somebody could host these pics (cough cough BoraXP cough cough) and give 'em a title or something

00CericaRuss · 11-22-2003, 06:35 PM

finally got my copilot and clifnet working...
i guess my mfc42.dll got replaced w/a funky version.. replaced it w/another one that i found on my hd and it worked... weird stuff...

carabuser, i'll put the pics on my site in the next couple days

carabuser · 11-22-2003, 06:54 PM

00CelicaRuss, kool man.

oh, btw, what were you and cproaudio listening to? some rap album, I think it was the one you needed a blank cd for.

00CericaRuss · 11-22-2003, 06:57 PM

was trying to share a couple files, but we just did it via wireless

carabuser · 11-22-2003, 07:19 PM

oh yeah, I know
the thing I don't know is the album

What was it? I keep hearing it everywhere buy habe no idea what it is

welthqa · 11-22-2003, 08:38 PM

the pics didn't look like they came out right. looks like you took them while you were running. i'm guessing there was a delay from the time you click until the time it takes the picture and you didn't realize this.
