Looks awesome, I can't wait until I start my project on my IV Golf. How much did you pay for your entire system, I am debating if I should stay with my stock amp and speakers.

Just off the top of my head. These prices are what I remember paying. I'm sure current prices are different.

* IBM Netvista A40p - $45, ebay (local pick-up)

* 60GB HDD - $80

* 7" Widescreen VGA LCD Touchscreen - $450

* 150w Opus DC-DC ATX power supply with startup/shutdown controller - $130

* TurtleBeach Santa Cruz soundcard - Salvaged from a another PC. (Retail $45)

* USB 2.0 PCI card - Salvaged (Retail $25)

* USB 2.0 Powered Hub - $20

* GPS Reciever - $85

* Wifi card + 5.5dB external antenna - $70

* Gyro Wireless Keyboard/Mouse - $90

* Cables, Wiring, Adapters - $150

* Software - $200

* Labor - Lots of time.

* Set of new component speakers - $300

* 4-Channel amp - $180 (used, local)

* 2- Channal amp + 10" sub - $250 (used, local)

Parts are always changing and I didn't aquire all of them at once. Good luck with your Golf.

Pretty neat installation on your Jetta version 2.0

Quick List:




Hi,
I like your work you did on your Jetta. I like the touch screen logo and the way you ran your cables. I own a Jetta VW V2.0 too and I'm thinking of doing the same installation. I'm newbie on this but I have experience on Computer Installation. Probably I will be looking for that Magazine " Build Your Own Car PC ". Thank for the tips you have placed in this thread.

Carlos, how do you mean? You mean leave the VW HU in place and have an LCD monitor mounted elsewhere?

I'm not sure exactly what post you're replying to? If your question is if you can leave the standard DIN sized stock (or after-market) while still having a in-dash display, then yes. There are a few ways. Probably the most popular and cleanest way to do this is use a sliding in-dash LCD. Something similar to theXenarc 700IDT. Is this what you were asking about?

Just wondering. I have a '00 Jetta 1.8T, and my stereo seems to be bare bones (no CD) but I have a component system (independent tweeters/woofers.) Do you know if these are internally crossed over? did you just buy a wiring harness for an aftermarket HU and wire it that way, or did you rip apart VW's wiring and start fresh?

I'm planning on building my setup in stages, so I want to keep teh stock speakers for now.
