You gotta give props for the man's setup.

I like the setup and moreso the car itself. I think people are just "hatin'" on him b/c he's a bit arrogant and if you're not used to it, it can **** you off.

I personally wouldn't do it like that myself. I consider mine ghetto rigged but it doesn't look like that.

Try Windows XP SP2 You can connect to wireless networks automatically, and do all kinds of stuff. You can set order to connect and keys, pretty cool really. You should have made the security system and then get it impounded. Deafen or make all the police pass out by entering your car. You would have to have a little warning on the window written in permanent marker saying by entering this car you agree to be.....

Any hows keep working on it :-D

Actually currently I am the guy who is the youngest with two completed carputer systems. I'm 16, I pay for my stuff myself - why the hell would my parents finance my carputer? I have had two cars so far and both had carputers. My very first install is incredibly ghetto, but probably not as ghetto as yours So yeah, you beat me there.

BTW, my current setup is the cheapest on the forums as well - $180.

Awesome, Awesome install Brings back memories of my first car, an 81 prelude. Great little car to be sure, and probably still on the road somewhere. BTW, did the $400 include the car?

Hey nice install...you did the best you could with what you had...not bad. My friend in western Pennsylvania had an 82 accord similar to yours that he bought for $200...we had such a blast with it, it spent more time in the air than it did on the ground. It was all good until the radiator blew and the engine stalled from overheating. We hitchhiked 30 miles back to his place and then dragged it with his dodge back to his house. I was able to clutch start it while he was towing me but it never started after that.

I had only been 17 for one month when my carputer was "finished". It is never finished, but it was in really good working order, and integrated.

I think that the guy that makes NaviVoice has us all beat. His name is 0ll...something
