I stared the faceplate mod.

Here is a picture with the PCB before :

And after :

A little mod in order to put 2 SMD micro LED : one Blue (for POWER ON) and one Red (for HDD ACTIVITY).

Amazing. I think that you and Dejan have really gone to the limits for a fully integrated in dash PC.

I can only wish I had such talent for that kind of custom work.

Any update on this amazing project?

Coucouillu,

you are fantastically mad!
well done!

I changed micro LED from the lilliput screen.

They are normally BLUE. I changed them in RED like the OEM SYMPHONY II color.

I have made an EASY CONNECT beetween the faceplate and the radio mainboard.

Through this connector are wired the power button, the eject button for the screen, Power LED and HDD LED.

Other pins are free of use for future features (perhaps USB)

I finally decided to change my way about the choice of the motherboard.

I found the LS372 really good :

For the moment, during test, I will use a 4GB compact flash.

I have mad sets squares in brass in order to fix the motherboard.

After that, I soldered them on the case :

And i finally placed the mother board.:

With High performances come High Heat.

I made my own heat pipe based heat sink :

Wow. This is really turning out great!

Holy *****. I work in a pc shop building and repairing laptops and computers, (btw in IT the money is good and theres always jobs going) Ive had to fiddle around with laptop heatsinks behind and there are a pain in the arse, I havnt seen a heat sink this customised since the CNC machined water block we had made for a business customer. Every time I come to chekc this thread I have to re-read it all to do the fantastic work justice.

This really is a fantastic project both in time spent and the level of detail youv'e gone to, seriously man well done, really well done

coucouillu · 10-12-2008, 12:52 PM

Thank you all.

As you said, I spent a lot of time and spend a lot of money.

For the moment, an average of 680 hours of work and almost 3000€ since the month of march.

It isn't a reaally cheap project but it takes all my free time.

I have to say "thank you" to my girlfriend too...She supports me a lot.

Following this project closely, very cool! I hope to start something like this for my A3 too.

On a sidenote, your image host is very slow!

For host, I will try to put all picture on MP3car.

For your A3, I have plenty of other ideas.

I am looking for this stuff :
