Hi,
Guys,

As I was thinking to upgrade my Head Unit to something new ,so was looking for head units of pioneer with single din motorized panel ones...

Then one of my friend heard this and suggested me CAR COMPUTER.. at first note i was like what the FISH!! car computer new head ache. but at night as my nature is, I started becoming restless and ask him to provide me some link and my search begins

After seeing some videos and pics from other forums ,i decided to save and give it a shot .. i thought i was the only one to have CAR PC ..but after few days i saw the threads on TBHP too,so i was i am not the only GUINEA PIG HERE



SO after working hard and saving hard today was the day ,i installed my car pc.


To help me getting the thing working there was many users form the forum:
AZA
HARSH87
YAYAATI
Low_Bass_Maker


It hasn't been finished yet as some fabrication work is still pending on ,will get it done soon with covering of fibre and the paint job in mat black (most probably) ,and will post some pics ... the working is superb





PICS:

Nice! Will love to check out the final install.

I assume the wooden enclosure is a looking a little "loose" as it is not finished yet?

[Gill]

Wah ji wah! the wooden rack is looking good!
details about the system?

[panky12345]

whats this FOR?? playing around with sound or gaming?

[Amey]

Looking good smokin.
Awaiting to see the finished install.

[Tejas@perioimpl]

Nice!

what paint job have you planned for the wooden enclosure? Duco?
Instead of paint you can try artificial leather on it as well. Had made a similar enclosure in my gypsy years ago and had used fake leather. Turned out good on it.

give dimensions of the wooden enclosure in detail. It'll help any other santro owner in the future and save his time.

Wah ji wah.. congrats hai ji.

Good to see the car pc running in your santro, I hope its the same one which consits DIY projector headlamps. In my opinion, you did a good job of opting to a separate wooden panel rather then cutting and fabricating the dash which is ultimately a pain sooner or later.

What is Configuration and final damage ??

You can also consider installing the Asus Xonar DX sound card for better quality compared to the onboard audio codec's quality.Best part about this card is its not expensive, has excellent output and comes with a low profile retension plate.

Yes it's a loose still because i was not sure to get it fixed before i am satisfied with all angles ..as now the angle of the screen has been set now the upper part of the console will be screwed to the dash to give support

Don't have the pics as it was done years ago and i have sold my Gyspy.
What they do is basically stretch the fabric (leather is same color as the dash - available at all car seat cover wholesalers) over the box and nail it from inside. somewhat similar to what they do for the side door panels.

[Bass&Trouble]

Looking good smokin! Congratulations!

P.S. Looks like all the help LBM extended was clicking some pics. :-P

[esteem_lover]

congrats, your setup is really smokin'.

Could you put up prices for individual items please.

[abhinav.gupta88]

Smokkin, i even saw the software installation pics .

Amazing man.

I guess it will be used for something much more than browsing , music and games

[K a s h]

Congrats on your new setup. The wooden console is a very nice idea.
I have added a CAR PC to my wishlist

Then i would not get it done as the reason is ,it will not give that OEM look which i am looking for,as i need to have some fibre work for the finishing touch and after ,fabric can't be fitted ..i can't explain the whole procedure which i will be doing

Thanks B&T,

LBM was the one who helped me a lot in terms of software and hardware installation,if he wasnt there at that time ,my setup wasnt be possible now

As for the clicking you know who is the psycho guy (YA****I)
