Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD and car PC
Hi all,
My friend had this idea of hooking up the audio/video output of a car pc to the audio/video input of my AVH-P4200DVD unit. I know that I can hook up a PS3 or an Xbox, so I should be able to hook up a car pc?
I think it should work fine, but I want to get your guys' input. Has anyone tried this before?
Did the touch screen work with the PC?
How's the audio?
Thanks!

No, the touch screen won't work, and I'm guessing that adding a USB touchscreen overlay to the 4200 would stop the 4200's touchscreen from working at all.
Audio would be just as good as any audio input into the headunit, which is to say, just fine.

You'll need a PC with composite output, since there's no HDMI, VGA, S-VIDEO or other video input.

I wonder if there is a computer software fix for the touchscreen to work.
I hope its not a dead end.

Unless you're going all-out with a car pc, I can't see much reason for them anymore. Smartphones do all the portable web-browsing you want, and headunits features have grown to do many of the music and video playing capabilities that car pcs were so cool for being able to do.
Now, if you're looking to put some USB control boards and a 3G connection in it, so you can remote control everything on the car, get a wide-band o2 sensor and tap in to all the various inputs in the car for datalogging, it might be worth it.

Yeah.. You guys are correct.. After a day of thinking about it, I couldn't justify having it. With the capabilities of the p4200dvd I really have nothing more to ask.. Also I bought a 250gb laptop hard drive that is supposed to consume less power than a usual laptop hard drive. I it will work fine..
