Can I make a shuttle pc into my Carputer? If so which screen do you guys recomend? I dont have the factory navigation so I have that big empty hole. Im a complete car idiot so i wont be doing the installation myself, I know computers well so i can build the machine myself. I just need to know how to wire this carputer to my speaker ssytem in my car and will it replace my 6 cd changer or will I be able to use that too? If anyone is in the MD area witha carputer that woud be awsome and can assist. I know how to get the GPS to work and all know how to get the wifi, mp3's movies etc. I just want to know how to wire it to my stero sysstem and also whcih screen you guys recomend that fits into the original nav spot. I would love to know if its motoroized etc, thanks a lot guys

I found everything I needed from these 3 sites with the exception of the PAC AAI-NIS unit to give you aux audio inputs (2) utilizing the SAT port. If you have satellite radio already, then you may need the CD changer adapter (also a PAC product I believe). Or you can use a tape adapter or FM modulator. Or you can do what I have planned now - input sound from the HU to a soundblaster Extigy and send the output of the Extigy to an amplifier. This can give you a 4.1 surround sound setup.

If you do a search for "carputer", you will find a few informative threads.

 

If your interested in carputers, there will be a carputer meet / BBQ this weekend here pretty close to maryland http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=45719

I'm from silverspring, MD and I will be there with my G35 and will be able to show you the digitalwheelz screen as well as a full carputer setup.
