OK so let the fun begin
So i have started on the CAR PC
Spec as follows
Acer Aspire Revo
Carnetix P1900
LIlliput 7" Screen
Logitiec Mini Keyboard/Joypad
Joycon EX
Rear Camera
OBD Reader
C200 Video Camera Input
Onto the fitting the standard housing that comes in the non nav modules doesn't allow enough space to fit a screen in the cubby as you can see below

So i had to order a different unit
once order it was time to get on with the fitting of the screen, no real pics of this as it kinda just fits in and gets glued in place....
but once fitted allows it to look like this

So with the screen in place it was time to modify the computer to work with the PSU
In order for it to work we have to make an additional switch input on the main board
So computer before

Once removed it looks like this

the contacts themselves are just a standard short to make connection effectively a normally open shorted to normally closed
once connected to i then ran a cable through the case onto a connection on the rear.
that's as far as i got tonight but here are the finished pics today

You are getting there mate will look great when done.
Your screen is bright is that also down to your down lights?
So will it be finished in the morning?

Good work as ever Rabs. Keep it coming.
Rabster Nissan 350z GT4 From birth Till - parthiban - 18-06-2019
Lovely, this is coming along nicely as I suspected!
Although running windows doesn't that take absolutely ages to boot up? Or is there a trick that makes it boot faster?
