New to this, so this will be a project.
First the car -
2001 BMW e46 325i stock -, basic controls, knob a/c no multi function steering wheel (although I am upgrading that soon) Does not have the original bmw radio, but I want to do away with the radio completely.
Now the pc.
The pc is a laptop.
an Old hp pavilion ze4900
The idea -
I'd like to mount a laptop into the car underneath the passenger seat but the catch is I need it to be able to be removed when ever I want so I need a docking station, now from researching around I was unable to find a docking station for my laptop so a little help if anyone is familiar with this laptop.
I want everything to be usb so that this way if it needs to be changed it won't be a pain in the ***
- Next it has to line up in the dash.
Which seems to be no problem with the bezel that is offered for the e46 on this site.
-Parts-
Laptop
hp pavilion ze4900
Docking station
-Video/music-
Panasonic UJ-85J-B
Ultra Slim External Enclosure USB 2.0
AM/FM/TV USB - (someone recommend a small one?)
-GPS-
BU-353 Weather-proof GPS Receiver
-In Dash-
BMW E46 LCD Bezel
Xenarc 700TSV - VGA Monitor with touchscreen
I have a 6 cd changer in the trunk as well with my radio (not bmw cd changer) I am not sure if i'll have to remove it but it doesn't seem like i'll need it if i am using the car pc to do everything.
I'd Also like to if possible do away completely with my AC/Heat controls and have it completely controlled by the CAR PC I hear you can use some Ibus or something to get information from the bmw car I wonder if that's also something that can be done
