Thread: Evo-puter In-dash WIP

UPDATE:

Project is on hold due to lack of funds and spontaneouse purchases of a new PC and cell phone (G1 ;-).

Next step is new audio.

I also decided that a commercial release of the nav/frontend was useless because I cannot keep up with the major players' features, such as google streetview. I mean, seriously, how can any nav system compare with streetview??

But I will probably release an integrated frontend/nav eventually for cheaper than the competition. If I do, the UI will be open source and driven by a closed source .NET assembly.

OMG finally an update.... I must be in the dark ages but I havent heard of google streetview. I guess I like iG4 that much. I hear you on the lack of funds though, only thing left on my install is the dash area, then im done, but because I have to pay some1 to do it, its on hold. So for now I have to listen to the OMG some1 broke into your car and ripped out the whole dash comment.

You should check out Google Streetview, it really is cool. I can see my car in my driveway on it! Just go to google maps and zoom in on a major city until the streets have a blue outline, then click streetview.

Nice dash ;-P

Thats cool.... it has old pictures though... on mine I see no cars in my drive way, we were probably at work, but it shows the neighbor's car that lived here 1 year ago.

Sweet setup. I love how you got everything in the OEM size box with the screen. I to have an Evo and am in the planning stages of fitting my setup in the shell of a OEM nave for my car.

Great work!

Brian-

Thanks. Post here when you do your setup. We need more Evos!

Will do!
Are you waiting to finish the Nav software project before you install it?

I have it in and out of the car often. I currently have no sound because I need a new amp. My front end is working nicely but is not pretty enough to release yet. It is just gray windows buttons and stuff, but has:

DVD player
CD player
Video file player
Audio file player
CD ripping
CD burning
DVD burning
Blu-ray burning
Navigation
HD Radio
Web browser (IE)

So I am working on making it look pretty. Also, I have to do routing in the nav so the user can get turn by turn directions.

Are you making a hole new front end, or just a skin?
