AM Radio (yes, another one)
I know it's an ongoing project and it's been beaten to death, but I can't find the answers with search, so here goes...
I'm frustrated by the fact that OEMs can have built in am/fm radios, but we can't. Still, realizing that the pc hardware is a ways off, I seem to remember a touchscreen LCD that also had built-in features (radio, cd, dvd, etc.). Basically it was an all-in-one headunit that also had a LCD aux that could control a carputer.
Also, it was 2 DIN (for my GM).
Anyone know what I'm talking about? Where to find one?
Thanks.

No, I'm looking for just the display unit (with the radio). I want to build my own puter behind it.
A completed system, with all those components marked up another 100%, isn't my idea of a smart use of my money.

Any other ideas? |

Look, basically I'm looking for AM/FM radio with OEM quality.
I'm blown away the we haven't figured this problem out yet.

There is one other option for radio. Check out http://hd-radio.home.comcast.net/. They list two add-on HD tuners that also handle standard FM/AM. I currently have the DMHD-1000 running through my stock head unit until I get my carputer together. It will eventually feed out into a Soundblaster USB sound card, into the pc, out to the sound card, and finally to an amp. |

Genius!
That will do the trick better than a radio in the display. Thanks. |
