Reply With QuoteWere you able to start on this project? It seems pretty straightforward but I was thinking about doing this with my 2006 Exige. Adding review camera support and such. I just wanted to see how it turned out before I invest the time and money.
Im Back on the CarPc BandWagon , with some time to spare and a few good ideas
After building a Carpc in my Puma and in my z3 , There has always been problems with the screens ! , always the screens and sound issues .. other than that perfect.
Any Way , In june i picked up a lotus elise . I have had a itch to build another carpc , and i think the elise may be a winner.

The Plan
Im going to purchase a sheet of aluminium , build and screw the whole setup on there and bolt this under the dash board ( thank god for lotus's cheapness of building a hollow dashboard)
There should be a ground and power point at the front of the car so i can connect to that.
The 3g dongle i am going to run under the center console to the rear , nice and far away from any speakers or amplifers
I will get Some picture up tomorrow of the car , and points where i plan to mount

Well..
i actually bought a spare part of a dashboard , and had a laser cut aluminum bezzle created for the screen ... But with it being winter etc i havnt been to botherd with it ..!
But ... i instead bought a mdt-x7000 indash screen for the time being , so far seems good ? Maybe im lucky with it being new .. and one of the latest models. Seems probally the best indash i have had ..
Any way .. For the casing i bought a complete mini-itx clear perspex case ...
I will update this post as i go along.
Quick Update ... My progress on replacing the MDT-X7000
