Well guys i thought i would try to get a bit more info here. wondering if anyone knows of a shop or individual locally who is really good with computer work and also installing a computer/pc into a car. looking to at least consult with them first and try to see what they can do.
want something like the stuff that is in this thread here....

I have several reasons for wanting this done. but the main reason is so that i can use a wireless keyboard/mouse/touchscreen set up for on the go tuning purposes with hptuners (and not always have to plug in a laptop and have it being loose in the car when i decide to start using data logging software, whether i am on the track or street. also so that i can have a huge MP3 file and not have to carry CD's from my DD to the T/A should i decide to drive it.

I am absolutely NO good at any type of electrical work. so this is something i would not be able to do. not to mention cannot build my own pc to be able to design and install in the car.

 

i can do fiberglass work. like mold a monitor into your factory dash to make it look stock. but with your car that will probably mean replacng the factory radio with a touch screen monitor that has a computer monitor input. i think the alpine TME-770 will work. then you would have to get a sysem like the vehical hub pro to get all your audio sources and stuff. thats the baller way to do it so you dont have stupid shit hanging all over your dash. i can give you pics of similar installs if your interested.

 

oh yea. but for the actuall computer part. i got nuffin.

 

LOL,

Would love to see some pics... if i can get the rest of the comp sorted out and decide to actually do this then now at least i have one person to talk to about setting up how the dash will look.

im not worried about replacing the stock radio, if i do this ill have the comp wired to the speaker system to output sound so i can run media files and music straight from the computer. i can talk with jasonww from the thread i posted above about parts and components i need to order to make a working system. but i certainly wont have anyone go through with the install if i cant make it look and work like it came from the factory (especially if its something i am going to be staring at a lot).

 

ask Fventura03 with the red civic he has a sick setup in there with a touchscreen computer and custom fab work

 

heres a tsx i mounted a monitor where there was 2 storage cubbys, the radio is incorporated with all the AC contorols and vents so it made it a little difficult to replace it.


this is a chrysler 300, this will be more like yours in the sence that i will be able to take the factory trim piece out and modify it to look how i want.


this was the before picture


heres a different TSX i did but this was a cheep rush job so it didnt come out as good.


but ive also got pics of a bens i did a custom dash in, a tahoe, a volvo SUV, a bens van and a bunch more. I used to do them all the time at my old job. It was probably one of my favorite things to do.

 

^Nice work. I'm looking to have this type of work done to my car soon.

OP hope all works out for ya. I believe there is a guy selling a complete double din one on the Sale section.

 

I could do the actual computer part...mounting it and such is possible as well. It would just take time like anything else.

 

i did my setup a while ago, its really easy...

 

I bet I know who's goin to be doin yours though

You just gotta get everything else up and runnin first though!
