as you can see i build a Carpc using mini itx board and a mobile core2duo cpu. the whole computer is in the dash behind the 7" touchscreen i got a custom case from a guy that did this to his mustang and i had to build one too. it has hd radio, sirius radio, gps, win amp and media player classic for vids

Very nice. Do you have a picture of the dash before hand? I'm not familiar with mustang radios.

Jolly-Swagman · May 2, 2008

looks pretty cool well done

Xargon21 · May 2, 2008

i dont have a pic of it before i installed the radio but i found a pic of the stock radio that was in my car to give you a idea of what it looked like

How do you get Sirius radio to work on a carputer? To further that, how did you get it to interface with Windows?

Looks awesome by the way

Maybe it's not windows

Xargon21 · May 2, 2008

Yes im running windows this link here has a usb interface for the sirius tuner scc1 and a interface cable for a Hdzoom universal hd radio tuner that can be had on ebay for about $30 http://www.rush2112.net/

This is the link to the thread of the guy that did it before me has a lot of nice pictures http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/fabrication/68452-complete-bolt-screen-cpu-hd-ps-indash.html

i've been thinking about doing this with VIA pico-ITX kit. thats a wicked mod for sure.

Anexx789 · May 19, 2008

Cool! I want to do this to my mustang.

Shiggity · May 19, 2008

Wow awesome mod!

The only problem is that I'd probably get in an accident because I'd be looking at the screen too much

Diddyu · May 19, 2008

Just curious, what can you display as "Gauges"? MPG ect.?

Albaholic · May 19, 2008

Looks really sleek... Nice Job

Xargon21 · May 20, 2008

The gauges button take you to a screen that uses the gps to display you Mph heading, Altitude, # of satellites you have locked in.

different skins can do different things it up to what the maker wants to put into them, there is a guy that made a tire pressure monitoring system reciever that can plug into the usb port so he can monitor his tire pressure and temp on his car pc

eternaljammer · May 21, 2008

Lol, very nice mod! Very clean and sleek.

thanks for the link

Took a piece of plastic out of my center console and built in a hub and a power switch and a "velet" switch, Now if my comp freezes on road i can restart it and when i take it in for service i can keep the computer off so shop monkeys cant mess with it
