Neilp Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Right guys I've been looking at this for a while and I'm very interested in getting a car pc(touchscreen) which i can use for data logging, music, dvd's and the ability to run Internet from my tethering on iPhone. I remember a while back nrenz was doing something based on nurrish's satnav but haven't heard anything in a while. Has anyone got any info or able to build something like this? Info on prices also.

Cragus Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Partner up with maz on here mate - he is going for something like this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Pretty costly Neil for what it is useful for, why not just get a decent smart phone with a big screen and a mount in the cubby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurrish Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Does look good though. Here was mine As for cost you could probably get away with spending 500 to 600 to get a decent setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Yep I've seen some in region of 500. Getting software isn't a problem as most of it's freely available or I have licenses already. It's just trying to find the initial unit to fit and be able to run obdII on it. Nurrish were u running obdII and did u have the capability of playing DVDs etc? Sorry can't view video as I'm a work. Cheers lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilp Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Very nice man I might do similar. Any chance u could pm me and recommend a screen and base unit? I'm a bit numb to it and ur the pro lol. I take it it's easy enough to get a hold of the correct transformers to run the base unit in the car? Just when you get a minute. Cheers once again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrenz123 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I started to look into making one, i built myself a base unit along with the obd2 lead, bluetooth, wireless, gps unit etc. I never got round to buying the touchscreen. The base unit was just about ready to put into the car it just needed a car power supply. I might be interested in selling it as its just gathering dust.
