GOt everything installed that other day and it worked great. I thought. After a few minutes of running the computer shuts down for no reason. I am looking at the power button now and my solder points. I may also have a problem in the bios, didnt have too much time to check it out yet.
Anyway, it looks very promising and was a lot of work. I have a secondary battery hooked up and isolated using a stinger 200 amp relay. This will ensure the 2nd battery is only connected to the cars power when the ignition is on. The computer is connected to this battery so if for some reason the computer hangs or the boot up sequence gets screwed up, it will not drain my main battery.
The 2nd battery idea also works good if the main battery is drain (say if you leave you head lights on) and it doesnt have enough to start the car. The second battery kicks in automatically and lets the car start from it. I found this out this weekend when I left my lights on. Kick *** jump start system if you ask me.
Anyway I am pretty amped about this setup. This will be the 10th carputer I setup now in my cars and should be my best install yet.

Project completed and fully operational. Of course upgrades will be added and things may change from time to time, but for now this is the finished product.

Update,
Project to embed the screen in to the dash will start soon. My plan is to remove the jaguar computer, fab the dash to fit the screen and relocate the buttons. Lots to be done but it will be pretty cool when it is finished.

New update,
Jaguar Car Computer stays dash vents modified and custom bezel in process. Starting to look real good. Cant wait for the finish product. This will probably be my last mod for the carputer install and should complete this project. Car upgrades will follow the carputer project... Corvette Tranny... Ahh yeah that's right allready planning this mod.

Dash work is taking a little longer than expected. I only have a few hours a week to work on it and I wanted to make sure everything is done correctly and how I want it, since once the job was started there is no turning back.
So it is definitely started and actually nearing completion.
The custom AC vents are installed, the main dash has been fabbricated and just finishing up some bondo work along with fitting the screen and paint.
I am about 75% done now.

Dash is finally 98% completed and pics are posted. I plan on covering the dash with vinyl but the vinyl I want to use is out of stock and I guess I just have to wait.
