Nissan Stagea CARPC

hay guys,
first post about the carpc i just installed the other day.
car is a japanese Nissan Stagea Rs4 - RB25DET "NEO" 4WD WAGON

Carputer specs:

INTEL D945GCLF M/B
1GB DDR2
32GB OCZ SSD Drive
M2-ATX PSU
Tiny XP (my serial number)
Centrafuse 3.1 with maps
BU-353 GPS
nano Wifi adapter
nano Bluetooth adapter
Ultimate Radio (fm+DAB)
250GB external HDD for media
7" double din in-dash LCD touchscreen
Samsung U70 USB only monitor for the rear

i have installed the pc under the passenger seat and ran the wiring under the carpet either up the centre console or around the door sil on the floor.
Speaker setup is pretty basic, std splits in the front powered by a small 500w 2ch amp that fits in the glovebox and a 12" sony sub powered by a rockford fosgate amp in the boot.

question - getting a wine through the speakers, is this due to the power wiring or quaility of the internal sound card?

so, pics of what it looks like now

nissan datascan dash software that links into the cars ecu to give you the read outs

ultimate radio plugin

next on the list is to install a mic for the hands free, anyone have any ideas to what mic setup i should use?

thanks guys

Damn that's the first time I'm seeing that model Nissan. I'm loving it! For the mic I'm sure most would say the Andrea Superbeam

That is the first time ever seeing a double din frame actually fit inside a dash like its suppose too. Nice work.

Looks good. The car looks like it should be a VW. by the way, I believe this should be in the "Show Off Your Project" forum and not the "Worklogs"

Good work, good to see another Aussie wagon on here. I love the Stagea's, might be the next car on the list for me

I see you have a radio of some sort as well? You're wine could be due to earth issues on your antenna. I put an ground loop isolator between the radio (Craig Brass DAB+ Unit) on the 3.5mm audio cable that goes back to the PC and that helped. Do you get the wine with the radio plugged in?

Ofcourse it could be something in the amp / pc setup too.

That car is awesome! I would have so much fun pimping that out.
