OK here it goes, my thread on my install that began a year ago. I am posting in this new sub-forum (great job on listening to your fellow forum members and adding this forum),my title says newbie which I am but that title is there for a reason
Lots and lots of the endless search . The knowledge on this board is unreal,
this forum alone has taught me much more then just car comp. It has taught me endless knowldege from audio codec differences to runing your computer cleaner and faster, how to control servos ect ect.
But lets get on with it shall we
My over all goals with this project.
1.music, gps, movies, game emulation ect and all the endless possabilites.
2. ease of use
3. somewhat stock look (basically wanted to keep the ****ty monsoon head
unit because it just looks too good at night with
the rest of the car) + plus keep cost somewhat
lower.
*side note:
I know i have options with my radio and such but i would
rather
not get into that yet
4. security...as in keeping it look stock aka rotating screen and tape deck
where i live every single person i know has had there stereo
stolen. litarally right in front of my house and the car was like
20 feet away. So to me and hopefully a thief, tape deck = no
system
i hope
5. saftey, so i tried to acomplish my goals with using as little wood metal
and bolts as possable. keeping all air bags (more on this later).
6. But overall doing every little bit myself...well with the help of everybody
on this board
On that note i would like to thank everybody from the programers to the everyday board member with there help of makin this come together.
I could go on forever so lets rap up the intro and get into
the good stuff...
