so im kinda scared that again my stuff is caught and i got to pay a ****load of tax money on it
i was looking on a ebay site here in NL marktplaats they sell roof monitors with touch but for 550 € thats not fun anymore then
a normal 15" tft costs like 80 € and the touchscreen kits i didnt found yet
i also was planning to buy a HD radio but looks like those are only sold with the special Rs232 cable in usa
wish i went there on a holiday to buy some stuff grrr

I think I got the 15 inch for about $180.00, with shipping it was $220.00, if I can recall. It is very hard to find roof top screens with VGA. This is the cheapest I have ever seen. The maker of the screen is called Shark, maybe if you can find their info you can contact them directly, and get a better deal. The touch kit for a 15" is easy, its hard to find for a 15.4" which is my size. i found one in China, but they wanted money through Western Union. i then managed to find a USA based company, or was it UK? Anyways the China one was $24.00 for the touch screen and $33 for shipping, so that $57.00. I justed didnt trust it so I went with the one that accepts PayPal, costs $115.00 with them. I guess the security is worth the money.

That is true about the HD cable, but if you ask Mitch to send the cable to you marked as a gift, it wont be held in customs and you wont be taxed. Thats how China gets away with it, dont see why it wouldnt work for you. You just have to stress to Mitch to declare the package as gift and that it is marked as such.

Hey Jack.

BIG HUG (we are not gay really.... it's an inside joke) glad to see your making good progress. Hopefully the install will be done in time for the next meet (keeping my fingers crossed) can't wait to see the finished install.

Believe me I know your pain Jack took me a while to do my install too I did CarPC and MAJOR stereo upgrade at the same time during the hot a$$ Florida summer ( in hindsight not a wise decision)

Damn I was so looking forward to the November meet that got canceled wanted to show off my CarPc tethered to iPhone for internet also using iPhone as wireless keyboard and mouse.

LOL, SUPER BIG HUGGGGGGGGGGGGG. Yea but right now Im going backwards and forwards. i have ADD so I cant seem to focus. Now I have said screw it, im focusing on the Car PC, rather then engine, PC, exterior, and security and automation. Right now my goals are the 15.4 inch touch screen, the rear console with touch screen, and adding a 8th speaker for the BT phone. I think by having a seperate speaker for phone, this will kill the echo issue. Other then that, the dash is in Nexsons hands. i also have to make a frame for the top dash screens, but it isnt priority. i still havent even got my MoBo back yet.

LOL, well at least now we dont have to deal with the heat, but instead loosing daylight. Either way cant seem to win.

LOL, if this isnt done by some time next year, with at least a 90% install, im going to be ****ed. This cr@ppy economy isnt helping either, it has really forced me to slow down my install.

I dont see his work!?!?!?! Is there a link?

Mp3Car took them off, i noticed that the other day, or maybe its an issue that they just havent fixed.

You posted in vincenttor's worklog post silly... here's the link to his install if ya don't remember http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/work...ghz-movie.html

Ya talk about crappy economy I'll be out of a job in a few days lucky I'll get a severance package to last me a few months (unless I blow it on drugs and hookers again not necessarily in that order)

thats **** to hear kimota here is the economy also ***** now
so ur not alone :P
lets hope its gets better in a short while so we can buy some nice things again dont get evicted and keep your jobs

@ hijack

where did u got the screen and the touchscreenkit
i think i will give it a shot to order it
because for 220 dollars i cant get a roof screen 15 inch here in nl

220.00 USD

=

169.839 EUR

here you get for 193 euro a 10.4 inch screen and its not a rooftop screen
and the touchscreen thingy thats also nice to have ofcourse but not really necessary for in the back

I dont know why your icon didnt come up before, but now that I see your car I remember your worklog, your really good at fabing. Here is the link to the screen.... They dont have the price anymore so I guess you have to negotiate? http://www.gooddeals18.com/product/T...w_IR__vga.html

The touch kit is from here: http://shop-on-line.tvielectronics.c...e-touch-screen, the screen is actually $99.00 but with shipping, mine came out to $115.00.

The touchscreen USB controller, I bought from ebay for $11.67.

Hey Hijack,

Looks great. Being a Durango owner too, I don't see to many mods done. Here is my dash. I moved all the heat and air below to the center console.

OH WOW, that looks nice.... I really have way to many wires running through the center console, I could not add anymore, nor did I want to move the controls. I sent my dash to Nexson. I decided that the screen had to look like a headunit type setup, to me a single piece like your setup doesnt look like something Dodge would do, it looks custom. It does look really nice and clean though. Also you lost cup holders didnt you? Here is a pic of what he has done so far.



The issue is the 2 screens at the top of the dash. Also the second new console needs to have curves like the front console, but I am not sure if I should have it fiber glassed, or use foam to add the shape to the MDF then cover it in leather. On my install you wont see many custom things, because I dont want it to show that its custom. That was the reason I trashed the Version 1 second console, it just looked to custom and not like something that came with the car. I want people to get in my car and say, there is nothing special about this car, then BOOOMMMM, lol. Let me ask though, dont you hate that Dodge made that piece one large piece that is so hard to get out and in? What size screen is that, a 8 inch?

Also I added the 9th speaker for the phone setup. I put it on the panel were the cigarette lighter is. If you look on Volsfan pic you can see the power socket at the bottom.... I already ran the cable from the PC to the AMP in the rear, but I now have to run the speaker wire from the AMP to the speaker, which isnt easy once you get to the rear of the car.

PS: Are you kidding me Volsfan, you even have the same motherboard? Do you still have the KINO-690 S1? Only diffrence is I have a different processor. Also were did you put your PC?

thanks for the urls
i mailed them about the price and ms tina said to me
