Hi Jeff. The carputer is looking good

 

 

Hi guys!!

Well, I bought everything new, and assembled it myself, so Ide say:

Computer itself: $400
Touchscreen: $250
Periphials: $100

Well worth it, you can play your entire MP3 collection, any videos you have stored (dirty movies included Ben), DVDs, use Navigation software, Rip MP3s off of a friends CD without having to borrow it, surf the web, email, OBD2 programs, it's endless.

 

wow this is less expensive then the GPS set-up and much more funcitiality

can't wait to see the finished product!!

 

Giles runs one in his S .

It is pretty slick . I don't think he cares about the entertainment value as much as being able to e-mail , surf the web and tune his car from the drivers seat .

With a blue tooth phone and card you can whore S2Ki from anywhere Steve

 

I have a bluetooth phone

 

Can you start with that?

Steve, repeat after me. " House mods, not car mods."

 

The only entertainment upgrade I have in my S is the Turbo I did the carputer stuff 2 years ago before stuff became really small so mine looks more like a science lab than a slick install - anyway, I just bought MS Streets & Trips with the USB GPS device in the same box for $100 and it works great. The GPS is stuck behind the aero screen on top of the secret compartment.

 

The carputer didn't come with Blue Tooth, so I picked up a Kensington USB Blue Tooth 'tooth' and just plugged it in. Just make sure you have an unlimited internet phone plan otherwise you'll be selling the S to pay the phone bill

 

He already sold the S to get a house. I guess the decision now is, is it worth selling the house to get anywhere, anytime s2ki whoring capability in the crown vic?
