Nisarg, I learned from a few other forums that the Analog RGB signals on DVI-I port is not implemented by Zotac.

Yes. DV. I know that. They are saying that DVI-I functionality is expected in upcoming models / PCB versions.

So the option left is to buy a dvi equipped lcd monitor.

I'm afraid that the above wont work with the Zotac motherboard since they have skimped on the DVI-I implementation. The above mentioned converter does nothing more than routing the analog RGB signals on the DVI-I spade terminals to VGA pins. But since Zotac themselves has not 100% followed DVI-I specifications w.r.t Analog signals, I don't think it would work.

Hi guys,
I require somebody who has the experience to install LCDs/Carputers inside cars. I would need to use this garage/mechanic on a regular basis for a fleet of cars, as it a business requirement. (could mean long term business for the garage or employment/consultation for the mechanic).

If anyone knows anyone who I could contact regarding this, please let me know.

Thanks a lot.

Regards,
Varun

Carputer is going strong. Phone Function is now working fine with Andrea's New drivers.

Btw great news for Carputer Guys. Fluxmedia is releasing CF3 on 7th Nov.

Great new. Downloading now

Have you installed the new version? how is the performance and whats the improvement?

nisarg86 · 10th November 2009, 15:26

Installed it last night on my PC. Running smooth on my Single Core Atom Rig. yet to install on ION board(carputer).
New Interface is pretty awkward. but its just a couple of days matters to get used to it.
There is no major changes in Settings window. Skin looks sleek and clean.
Startup time is improved a lot compare to CF2.
will post more once i installed it on carputer.

Sheldon had promised free upgrade to CF3, so will contact him for it after i come back from a family commitment.
i am quite happy with the way CF2 it is working fine except for the obd thing.
do post your reviews with pictures.

Installed 3.0 on my carputer and i dint like it as much as i liked 2.0, 3.0 doesn't look interesting, You need some time to get used to it anyways. startup time has been improved compared to 2.0. I'm back to 2.0 now.

Even i dont like the new interface of CF3. but i am just waiting for someone on flux forum for new skin release. rest features and startup time is very good.

Centrafuse forums say that sms reception has been solved in the 3.0 release, I dint actually try that, Did any of you tried that?
