CARPUTER 2002 Accord FINISHED!

Hey all...heres my finished project

I've researched for a couple months and just recently finished putting everything together. I'm using a 7" touchscreen molded into the double din slot. The computer is a 1GHz athlon with 256 of pc2700 and a 40GB HD. My slot load DVD drive is coming in the mail so I'll be finishing everything up.

Yes, I know the wiring is a mess... Some of the pics are blurry cause my hand was shaking

But here's some pics...also one of my S2000 push button from a while back...ENJOY...











GPS UNIT...

Nice, what kind of touchscreen are you using?

The install looks great! I was thinking about getting an Accord for my carputer because of the nicely located double din slot...

Decided to go with the Mercedes which has a double din slot nicely centered in the vehicle as well...

Good job again on your install, I am sure you were pumped when you finally got it all finished and drove down the road for the 1st time admiring your efforts... I know I was...

Mine is uninstalled right now. I tell you what, hope that Lilly doesn't go bad like mine did. Damn carputers, don't know how I lived this long without one.

It's sensible to buy a carputer for your car, but when you start buying cars for your carputers...... hmmm

LOL, it happens.

Aznblueeboi, did you relocate the buttons or did you remove them?

got a few questions for yah aznblueeboi:
1) why do you have two harddrives on the custom CPU box?
2) what type of head unit do you have there? and why does it say USB?

i see that you learned to mount your hardrive to its side:-P I learned the hard way about that back in 2000...the harddrive head is less likely to damage the harddrive on a bump :-) I was very ****ed when I had crashed a 20GB HDD that way...the harddrive still works, but was never the same.

I just cut the buttons off and disconnected that panel thingie...I may reconnect it later for the use of the remote but for now I have no need for it.

The second hard drive is not in use right now. I found one laying around and have it set up so that if I ever need extra storage I can just plug it in and power it up.

My HU is a Sony CDX-M610...I bought the XA-300 Aux Box and that's why it says USB (I'm using a USB connection to the XA-300) for digital sound.

Anything else?

Hey.. I have a 02 Accord Coupe v6 and Im planning to do this with my car too soon.
I see you have an HU below the carputer.
What do you use to manage the inputs between that and the carputer.
Like switching between the HU and the carputer?
also how much of a ***** was it to wire?
Where did you decide to mount the antennas for the GPS and the Radio?

also are you a member at v6p.net? the accord enthusiast site?

any tips on molding the screen?
