Do you just want the BrightLife skin or my simplified VW version of it? If youd like my version shoot me a PM.

Amazing work crsseyednsmilin! Holy crap I've been planning/building my system for the last year or so and you've finished it all in a couple of weeks?! 
I still can't get over how well the screen looks mouled into the bezel.. I will be exstatic if mine eventually looks like that.
Nice job

How have you connected the power? the screen to the psu, and then "directly" to the bat. or do you use the 12V cig connector?

the screen and pc are both powered via a Opus 150 PSU. The PSU is wired to the headunits former wiring. I just upgraded the 15amp fuse to a 20amp fuse.
PS... Since were still getting 90 degree days my car is hitting well over 100 in the day time while Im in class for hours. Quick Solution: The vents run RIGHT OVER the whole system.... so I put some holes in them so that air leaks down onto it with the A/C on. This helps big-time. I the winter when I have the heat on Ill go from just holes to little vents, so when the seasons change I can just pop off the top of the dash in 10 mins and switch it open or close . That or get rid of the massive amounts of rolled up excess cable in the dash and free up some breathing room / place some fans inside. |

The audio will run out via USB2.0 to RCA converter and then on to an amp. Im still working out wether its feasable to use the stock amp or not.
I do not have radio capabilities... nor do I really want them. There isnt $it to listen to on the radio these days. Plus when you have dvd/wireless net/160gb mp3s... who needs am/fm???? |
