I’ve just been checking the logs for the carpc website, and I’m amazed at the amount of traffic that it’s still generating, even though I haven’t updated for some time. The top 100 hits come from a dozen countries, and links fron sites in languages that I can’t read. God bless the interweb. The main [...]
We’re planning another meet for mp3car.com members in Sydney, you’ll find the details being discussed in this thread. Details at this stage are: * Sunday 4 September at 2pm* Somewhere in the inner west Meddler and I are off this weekend to scout for suitable locations. The last meet was arranged by our personally forwarding [...]
Following the lead and the instructions found in this thread on MP3Car.com, I managed to get the GPS back up and running. Of course this would have been more useful three weeks ago when I was running all over Sydney buying baby stuff. Hm. Now that’s all running nicely, I can start experimenting with the [...]
It’s been a while since the last update. Essentially, everything has been running really smoothly, and there isn’t a great deal to report. Well, there is that issue with the GPS which seems to forget about the drivers every now and then, which makes the touchscreen mouse freak out. I’m still using FrodoPlayer as my [...]

The installations ran the whole spectrum from completed (one with a mototrised 19″ monitor in the boot, to an installation in a cardboard box (complete with ZipLock quantities of stamps attached!).

We’ve had interest from ten or so people, and at time of writing we have three definites. It’s [...]
All the pre-work has been completed. The only thing that I wasn’t comfortablewith was running the speaker cabling through from the car to the doors -I couldn’t see a way to get the cables into the factory tubing. Marty wasn’tavailable and I’m working to a deadline, so a quick ring-around nettedme a car audio shop [...]
The last couple of weeks have been spent completing the rebuild of the car PC into it’s new case. It all fits in there, but it doesn’t look as cool as the acrylic one. This time, I spent time preparing all the wiring for power, switching, sound and video, by creating looms for everything before [...]
Gain screen arrived, but I’ve been too busy to play with it. Crappy weekend weather meant that I had the opportunity to build the entire setup on the bench including the new screen. Remember that bit where I was serious about not buying a touch-screen. That didn’t last very long! I’ve been trialling software available [...]
