VaBeachKevin Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I wonder how well it would work? Most carputers I see are just a 10" touchscreen that the majority of the time is just playing iTunes or some other music program. I always wanted a carputer but was too lazy to go through the full installation. This looks like I could get a large touchscreen to play my music and videos all wrapped u in a easy package. Anyone see any reason this would not work? 99 Ford Explorer Sport Alpine 9886 Infinity 7541a JL 12w3 Viper 771xv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I dont see why not, but i would make it semi easy to take out so you can take it in the house and load up more music/movies on the go. and you will need a power source for it, which shouldnt be 2 hard.. and a headphone port thing to RCA adapter and should work fine The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

dakotaspeir Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I was thinking about doing the same thing.

raytard Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 well, the two issues i see sq wise are that apple headphone jacks have some of the worse sq i've ever experienced in my life, and that you now have 2 volumes that have to be synched(and all apple products i've tried definately distort/clip past like 70% volume.) if thats not a concern all you need to do is make a dock and have a h/u with an aux in. and before someone jumps on me for saying that, using the same music file on an ipod mini, nano, video, classic, archos gmini404 and 604wifi, on an sd card, usb stick, and a burned cd, the ipods (when played through aux) clearly had the worse sq. The sd card and usb were best (because there is no secondary decompression taking place) along with the burned cd. The archos through aux were much better than the ipods through aux, and even better than the 30pin ipod cable which is admittedly a step up from aux(but ipod eq/processing still applies, so apple is still making the music worse before sending it out) Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaynecsmith520 Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 not sure how he had it wired though... if it were me i would build a place to put a head unit thats made for ipod or usb like a kenwood alpine ect, and that way you can use the high pass filter, bass, and have the full abilty to tune your system and thats about as esay as you can make it but you would have to modify your whole dash which you would have to do for a 10 inch screen too, but in my opinion an i pad would be way cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David711 Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 That was one of my choices but a molded in 12.1" touchscreen and mac mini sounded cleaner to me... hopefully I'm right since I'm almost finished!
