WOW Very nice  as a wise man once said "Pimping aint easy" I think he also said if the van is a rocking don't come a knocking (not sure what means, but I'll figure it out )
eventually

Wow nice install I don't think i have ever seen a project that big with such a great result despite the van having the carpc in it the fold out bed is my favorite part i'm sure that will come in handy at quite a few of the beach parties your gonna be going to  (from one surfer to another) now with the 12 volt point you have the perfect oppertunity to go get your self one of those 12volt minicoolers for the van then you will have place for the beers
Congrats on a great job done

Hi sedtc, you asked for some info on my fron-end,
Well, after trying out various front-ends and not being 100% happy with them, I decided to write my own. So I started learning VB.NET. 15 months later I have my own front-end. It uses Winamp for the MP3 decoder and for DVD and media player, I use an embedded Windows Media Player. I have a Silib labs USB radio and this works really well with the USBRadio.dll. It has RDS data etc. Looks really professional.
I have a Netgear wireless receiver which I use in my front-end to update MP3 files from my main computer in the house when I park in my drive.
I have my carPC boot directly into my front-end and with a lot of tweaks in the Windows registry I stop most of the Windows XP stuff from being visible during boot up to make a more professional look. The whole system boots up in just under a minute and with the use of the ATX2 shutdown controller, the machine will go into standby when the ignition is switched off. If the ignition is switched on within 2 hours, the carPC resumes from standby and music is heard within 5 seconds.
I am currently working on a reversing camera. I have built a small control circuit which takes the 12 volt reversing signal from the van which pulses a relay and is connected to the keyboard input of the PC. This simulates the 'r' key being pressed and switches to the 'reversing' screen of my front-end. There will be a USB webcam in the back door of the van which displays on my screen.
