can anyone recomend a cheap headuint with AUX in?
i dont even need cd play or anything just AUX in. i would just go buy the HON-AUX adaptopr but i dont lke the stock head unit.
damn man that is bad ass...btw you think you could do a diy on how you molded the dash like that? i wanna put a screen there...not touch or anything, but that is ****ing sweet
you can see the stock HU in the bottom there.
i made it so that you can fit in any other headunit. its a wood frame that will fit a different head unit.
I will get a diy here ASAP but im going to be in the hospital for the next 5days for a surgery so dont expect one yet.
actually heres a mini diy since i found some pics.
basically wat i did was open the LCD case. theres two parts to it. the front half and back half. so wat i did was use bondo and epoxy to glue in the front half to the double din slot. :
^here you can see why the bottom circle is blacked out. i didnt know oyu could take off the little circle pieces.
then once it was secure i used bondo to fill in the open spots. then using a filei filed it down then sanded then used bondo spot putty to fill in small scratches and bubbles. then i began the painting.
i probably have about 13 coats of paint. i used rubbing compound every 3 layers to get a smooth finished.
Hey Dannn, How did you get it that smooth. i am doing it now and had to start over because when i started to paint bumps and holes showed up. what grade of sandpaper did you use. Did you use the glaze to fill the holes or what. My thread should be up shortly. Keep a look out. Great work by the way.
alright so i revamped most of the system.
i got rid of the laptop setup and put in a small dc powered computer.
it turns on when i turn the key and turns off when i take the key out.
here are some pics of the new computer
im gonna go fanless, to minimize interference with the audio and such thats what that huge heatsink is for.
i recomend the epia series of mobos for this type of project. its VERY small use the hard drive in the pic as reference, the hard drive is around 3.5 by 5 inches. the epias come with embedded procesors, i got the 1ghz version, that is plently for a GPS, MP3 application.
