Great site. Keep on goin folks! Joe

I have been busy the last 2 years building a carputer on my own.....I use a notebook, and attached a 12\" touchscreen to it and mounted it on my dashboard. I don`t have any car-controlls on it yet, but everything runs like a home device. I even have internet.
Your site looks really cool, keep on doing the work you do!

greetings from The Netherlands.!

Hi, how are you doing on the porting to the Mac version?

Nice software.

i try to create useful resourse

Excellent job sith the site!

I just got permision from the wife to do this to my 1995 Blazer. I\'m going to turn it into a mobile recording rig/interactive computer music machine. There seems to be plenty of space in the arm rest for a failry large computer case. Fun!

awsome stuff!

This looks awesome!

and airsoft is dumb :|

this has got to be the COOLEST THING EVER!

im so going to do this at some point.

it is very nice site

Great project! Great effort! keep up...

Very cool! Nerds rule! :)

great site

I love this page. It looks really nice. Keep it up

arabada ne kadar çok elektronik o kadar sakatlık demek. (bence :)

You have too electronical systems in your car. Then you have a lot of problems

What u\'ve done is superb! Its excellent!

I SAW YOUR PRODUCT ON THE SHOW \"PIMP MY RIDE\" ON MTV. IT LOOKS BETTER THAN BUTTER. COOL.

I like this site!

You certainlty have an Interesrting site Here I would be really Be interested in being cept to date as the progression marhes on

Good LUCK
RICK D.

This is a great site, probably the best carpc install to date. After seeing this I decided to start my car pc install. Good work guys!

Great job... I notice improvement day by day (LFS was a great jump).

Great idea. We\'re building a 350#/2 place/hybrid EV called the ElectriLite (http://www.mcn.org/a/omni/EliteSView401.jpg) that will use a mini itx box with a das/pwr switch card to run the enire electrical/performance system.

Oh well, too bad you don\'t support Lexus

Nice site, kewl idea(s) ... but please fix the PHP! There are a coupla links that are broken badly (some sort of include problem) such as the link for the wireless keyboard on the first page.

Any HUD (meaning see through) displays yet?

I love what I\'ve seen so far of your stuff. I use mini itx boards in portable computers and am working on one for my car as well. This software would come in handy in my car project too and would definately catch attention in my friends as well. The hardware you have linked will come in handy and I am very very interested in the DSSC too. Keep up the good work.

Nice!

Great job

Just what I was looking for!
Keep up the good work!

i love this page.3 keep it up

Love the expedition setup

bide su alete polis radarının yerini gosteren bisey ekle canafar gibi olur.

Damn this is the bomb! Awesome job :D I just had to sign the guestbook, cuz this is too cool!

This has to be the best in car PC setup I\'ve seen. Ever.
I think Im gonna have to do similar :)

We are a company developing these dream machines for the consumer market. Please contact us, so we might cooperate. Shy

Thats it... I got a 88 BMW 528e that I will have to do this to... I use Gentoo Linux, and I also live in Atlanta. I would like to see your set up and if you have time this summer (2004) maybe you can stop by my garage and give me a hand! Keep up the cool work! (You should start a new class at NOPI Nationals next Sept!)

i love sitting next to you (working on my laptop) while you\'re writing the software for the DashPC, since I get to see the changes before anyone else!! the new interface is looking sooo sweet bayby =-)

I am very proud of you my Son!

AARGH!
I independantly thought of this exact product. I didn\'t know it existed.
I would\'ve gone the same direction, possibly used a PocketPC as the guts, Linux is perfect for this type of application though.
Great job.

You are incredibly mad!
Compliments!f

I think you have done an awesome job with your car! I have been wanting to do this for a while now and I just got a Jetta a few months ago... I am planning on doing most of what you have done but doing it a little differently... I still need access to most of my trunk so I am working on making a compact PC and use a PCI Riser Cards... I would like to know where you got your Wireless Antenna though... :)

Once again GREAT JOB! your car looks amazing!!!

Hi there i have just got a 7.5\" lcd tv/screen, it has to AV inputs, but when i plug this into a computer of which i turn the resolution down to 800x600 the quality is very bad, i.e. i cannot see anything on the screen, Can yoyu help me

It\'s amazing!

I think you have to work here at VW in Germany. The best styled innovation I\'ve ever seen.

PERFECT!

Maik from Germany

PLEASE PLEASE KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK AND RELEASE AN ISO OR GHOST OF THE SYSTEM

Looks like a nice rig Too many features tho. also need Sd slots for add on music ;-)

Hi, Chris! Stumbled accross your site while doing research with a friend. Glad to see you are doing so well! ~M

Great effort! I am inspired!!
Prasanna

I\'ve got a 1991 Dodge Stealth I\'ve been wanting to do this to. Your site will definitely save me time!
Excellent Job!!!!

Hey Mike I didn\'t know you had such a large fan club!! was upppp

Hooray for the dashpc ;)

Thats one cool system you have there! It rocks!

I think it great that this website slows down performance for users using non-W3C browsers.
Keep up the good work!

***Running Linux + mozilla in WinXP***

Check out mine. Let me know what you think. I REALLY need to do the Casetronic w/ Via 800 m-itx for a perminate install. Will do in about two weeks. I\'m going to try to mount everything in the glovebox area...should be fun...Great site!!

1. This site does NOT comply to W3C standards.
2. Opera is too a proprietary browser.
3. IE is more standards compliant than Opera or Konqueror.
4. Beeing standards compliant has nothing to do with beeing proprietary.
5. The point of complying to standards when building websites is to make them more accessible, not more inaccessible...

Start using W3C compliant HTML before blocking non W3C compliant browsers!

totaly nice to serve the pages as it should to w3c compliant browsers!! i looked but couldnt find the source of how you add a couple of secs for the servement to noncompliant browsers?
could use this on my site.

cool modification :)

Incredible installation, one of, if not the best I\'ve ever seen. Very much looking forward to the shutdown circuit. It\'s EXACTLY what I\'ve been looking for!

Hey isnt that a pic of projectX on the \"features\" page? Or do you also have a nice Jetta coupe?

Just noticed that.. Great site. Played Some SOFII with you while back.

Thanks for sharing a whole lot of work that yields a very useful toy
for all of us.

I like this creation and ideas.

But where I live have many {bad-boys} and {big eyes}. Here, dont have this accessories.

Congratulations !

Very cool car/site. I plan to steal some of your ideas.

I have been into my truck PC for about 5 years. Started with an old Magellan GPS and a Pent 100 notebook. It has grown to the latest, a 1.8Ghz Intel desktop/60G HD running on a 1.5kW inverter. There is a 17 inch NEC LCD desktop monitor mounted on a homemade monitor lift track, it recesses to get access to the radio and HVAC controls. I have a ATI TV capable tuner/video card, internet through my verizon cell phone (qnc is slow but better that nothing), Gyration wireless key board/ mouse, film reader, APRS through my 70cm amateur radio, GPS III+ for nav data, and backup usb camera.

Currently I am working on my start up/ shut down circuit. I run Big Brother\'s Win 2000 because it can be hard shutdown/started using the inverter\'s remote power button. I have the PC bios set for \"return to last state after power loss\". I have to hit the inverter\'s on/off button when I want to boot. Crud, but it works well. I like your remote car start idea. I want to get to the point where the acc. line starts the inverter. I think I could install a remote car starter and get the some thing you have with out needing a basic stamp. Am I missing something?

Keep up the good work. I have BM?ed your site. :-)

I\'m really hurt that Chris took down my post (meow99) asking for a ride in his car. What\'s a kitty to do?

i like the dashpc BUT are there any UNIX people out there that would like to see a more native, console based environment? i could see using that sun visor type screen as a unix console.

Man this stuff is really cool. I am going to try this to my car and I hope to keep the cost down.

Just keep up the good work.

Rock - On

WOW!!! Great site. Great implementation! I have been wanting to do this for so long but financial and time constraints have been prohibitive. Things that you might want to consider, For the GPS, Mapopolis has a product being released this month called ClearRoute, which is a paid service (AHHH) that incorporates GPS coordinates with live traffic updates ad re-routes you to avoid it. If you have a WiFi or cellular link (Sprint is selling a CF cellular modem) might consider bringing in live traffic cams based on your geo reference taken from the GPS. The same applies for weather. Insatlling a Happauge TV card with a $100 HDTV antenna will do wonders. Wardriving with Kismet and storing the points on the GPS map database and then allowing the system to switch between Cellular and WiFi would be Damn Cool. Anyways that is what i am looking to do, but i am not a programmer i am a defense engineer that gets to play with a lot of cool toys. Look froward to visiting your site very often.

I have been planning a system simular to this one to put into a Fierro. You Rule for making the switching thing.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
I\'m really looking forward to making a system like yours for me...
But your\'s is perfect! Very functional and easy to use. Congrats!
BTW: Awesome car! I just love VW.

Really nice car if I knew anything about linux I would run it also. Quick question HOW did you do the denali finish? any help appreciated

this looks perfect for a giant mp3 jukebox in the car

Great Site ..... Well if any one is interested i Have 12\" Touch Screen , 1024x768 32k 24bit Screen and a 25 foot Vga Cable For sale ... Contact me if interested

Thanks for sharing this. I think the ideal car for you (and anyone else that likes the idea) will be a hybrid like the Prius. No startup problem, and you already have an LCD screen in the dash.

love your car
love your money
love your life?

Hi, nice pics and nice project! been thinkin of doin somethin like this to.. but then more for anti theft purpose =)

This is just TOO cool! I really appreciate the info and the multitude of fab photos!

Well done

I saw you can, I think that it is great, but I would really like you to see mine!! E-mail me!

First i must give you a big compliment for this great work.
i got an idea like yours anytime last year, and have started immediately to getting the hardware.
by searching the web i\'ve found your side and have seen that i\'m not the only one that has such maniac thoughts. :-)
i don\'t have any expirience with linux so is must build my project with ms, please be not disappointed. but i\'ve no chance to get it work under linux. but your side is a good artwork for me.
i also belief that VW ROCKS. :-)

good work. Chris

nice site

I\'ve been looking high and low for ideas on how to do this. I\'ve been a geek for a while and have finally converted to Linux for all my computing needs. Even games! No more M$ for me. I have seen several simple systems using little 16x2 displays (like the one above your mirror) but not too many where they actually incorporated a touch LCD. That is the way I want to go and it\'s nice to see that someone has accomplished it. I saw the touch panel program at freshmeat and started to drool but I think you are the only person that has a site devoted to it\'s use in a setup like this. I think I\'ll be doing mostly MP3 and later GPS but it would also be nice to get a PS Emulator, DVD, and regular media player mplayer or xine. I\'m looking around for the LCD at this time. Hopefully I can find one for less than 800 bucks. :)

Wireless LAN would be great too. Have you gotten into just driving around and getting into other networks? Like the Pringles can guys?

Good to see that license plate! GO NOLES in 2003!

Jason

Nice Site! http://www.point0fsale.com

l love my audi

Hi guy! i\'m italian and i\'m interesting in hi-fi car. your work is very very good!

That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen installed. Why can\'t the $2000+ systems installed in high end cars come close to this functionality? Very, very cool.

please all guy goooooooooo

please all guy goooooooooo

This Was Realy cool

WOW! Awesome setup.

would you like to give me the lamborghini in bergeron\'s section!

great car.

Looks really excellent. I\'ve been playing with the idea of integrating some computer in my car, but I see you\'ve already done it all... Looking forwards to trying it out with an old laptop in my car!
BTW... I\'m planning on using WiFi to enable file uploads whenever I\'m close to home. Hope I can get something like that running in not to much time.

Keep up the excelent work!

YO!! I\'m 16m from Singapore, and of all the car MP3 players i\'\'ve seen so far I think yours is currently the best!!! I\'ve yet to know how to write programs in linux, but I know its a far better OS than Windows...
Well, the parts seem rather expensive (especially the small LCDs)
Anyway, good luck on your success for this project!

Fly Safe All birds!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice setup. I have been looking at these types of systems for about two years and I have to say that yours is probably the best that I have come across.

you may send email to bill *-) (great work man!)

HAY YALL!!!!!!!!! IM LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON HOW TO INSTALL MY LCDS AND PS2 IN MY CAR CAN ANY ONE HELP

Great, Great!!!
Nothing else I can say!

And all done with Linux!!
Try it with windoze, if it is possible! (I\'t isn\'t!! )

servus!!!
shadow

This is awesom man!! I\'m considering building one now in my Alfa Romeo 145 2.0 QV. With an Via Mini ITX. where can i get such a touchscreen? Good luck with this project!

Wow... i\'m a bit lost for words here... it simply is amazing. Keep going @ this and you\'ll revolutionize the automobile industry.

Beautiful work m8, and VW rules! :D

Nice setup, the wood finish is a bit over the top, and its only a volkswagon
