I had some problems with inverter and i allmost get a hart atack when suddenly system go for shutdown and didn't start anymore. i think need better cables to inverter, so it can get more amps. I installed Frodoplayer but i have some resolution issues with that too. But nothing too serius.

Maybe i can tomorrow get some real "in action" pictures from it too.

Sunday was a hangover day, so projekt was in offline. But yesterday i did some installing. My inverter just explouded yesterday, so i get it change and i did get some smaller psu, but it is still too big for me . But now the system is in its place and it's running verywell. but still looking a smaller psu or some otherkind or some other answer to my problem. To day i'll think that i do some wirings and try to solve some issues with frodoplayer and my gps receiver may need reinstalling.


But now i think that it is 95% ready.

Ok finaly i get a smaller power. Now i have hole thing builded to clowbox, and now i also can close it. There is mutch more to do before i can truly say that hole projekt is ready.


- I need to make those cables disapear from passengers floor
- I need to sand and fill and sand and fill that lcd's cover.
- New cables and relays for inverter
- maybe new soundcard to get 5.1 audio


That's it and then i'm ready. But the spring is coming and that means that motorcycle projekt is also coming, so i realy need to get this done before it.

Ok finaly i get some "in action" pictures.

Here's the carputer in clowbox.


Headunit with Aux. That grey litle thing is my monitor tranformer to make vga>composite video.


My 10.4" display, Need todo more filling and sanding, and then some painting, but i cannot do that in winter time.


System running and using the Frodoplayer as Frontend

Oh my ***** now i have to make new housing for my computer. I bought new soundcard to PCI line, and now it doesn fit to be in clowbox. So i have to make hole new setup for pc, i think that i put pc to new homemade box, and then i place that box in trunk.

More work........ ***** happens....

Just installed new computercase to car and tested the new setup without headunit. i connected my new soundcard Hercules game theater 7.1 to amp and it sound incredible. The sound is more clear than ever, just need more tuning with dsp but its party time. Couple new pictures put in site.

So many many photo's!! Pity it doesn't all fit in the glovebox! Should be sweet when finished and the car gets a wash
