Ricey Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hi all After seeing some of the dross turned out recently by Cookbot & Neo-Ninja I decided that it was time to try my own hand at building a carputer. My basic concepts and values all go against the crap these 2 have turned out - bottom line it needed to be slick, stylish, reliable, flexible and above all future proof. So here it is - spec - Laptop power processing - Collapsible 14 inch LCD display - 14 inch secondary display - Integrated OBD2 reader - Hands free mobile phone technology - 8GB integrated IPOD interface - Sat Nav at TomTom standard with 5 inch screen which can be moved at the push of a finger - Built in 6 LED cabin illumination. - ICE lighting - Integrated tool kit Here's the piccies of the finished article - its a bit rough but this is only a prototype Entire unit ICE lighting and keyboard unit OBD2 reader IPOD interface In car handsfree phone Cabin Illumination Tool kit Any thoughts on price. Initial costings put it around £999.99 fully installed (some cubby modifications could be required) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carla Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Well it was kinda my fault, I asked him to put something in the loft, when he did, he seen a few items, ran down stairs for some "tools" went back in the loft.........then I see this "Ricenav" thread. He is a funny one I reckon we are going to be rolling in it soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
