It would be best if you can control Carputor with steering wheel remote controller.

CarPC JoyCon EX does it.

[furknee06]

lol haha thats cool bor you should make it call you michael

[lucaschad]

How did you connect the sound to your stock speakers? Really cool man!!!

[07350zhr]

wow where did you buy and how much please thank you

[karr24]

Speaking of Knight Rider. I find it wild that some of the stuff in that show is becoming real life technology.

[jusswatchin09]

where did you get that i been lookin for one for a while now

[1791kiss]

can you get on internet

[Spense626]

did you watch the video? lol.

[ProtonFilms]

Since you are using a Mac Mini, you might as well configure its voice recognition, so the car would remotely resemble KITT.

[globalmaster90]

Time for Bed!!! lol jk i dont even know tht song lol

[TravisMorien]

How about engine management stuff? I've heard of carputers which offer the sort of coolness which Skyline GTRs are famous for, with boost controllers, G-force readouts, etc. Got any info on that?

[JoeSparro]

we can assume this is your car....music. I have never seen anyone more confused about their own music. Who is we? your the only one in the car.

im glad you where nice enough to let us in your car.

is that all japanese?

and you are at walmart! capitol of china

[gmazin]

Theres someone behind the camera im pretty sure

[JoeSparro]

You really have no idea what the world has in STORE for you. until you brought YOUR item home and realized you wasted your MONEY.

[crazykidcapa]

@JoeSparro

What exactly did you mean by that? That this guy wasted his money? Or that you are unemployed and jealous of what working can get you? It's not a waste if you got the money douche bag. A waste of money is you paying your internet service provider to allow you to trash talk on youtube instead of working a job.

[JoeSparro]

@crazykidcapa you are dumb

[crazykidcapa]

Your response proves the opposite. Good job.

[JoeSparro]

you are still dumb

[crazykidcapa]

In your eyes only... and everyone else seems to agree so... Get a job, get a life. Educate yourself. Unless you have an intelligent response, stop insulting yourself while attempting to insult me. Just trying to help you out dude. Why make yourself look like a moron when everyone you know personally already knows. Why give us reason to subject you to the same treatment everyone in your school did.

[magnacore11]

Can you get any of the messenger services on it? (msn/aol/yahoo etc.)

[crazykidcapa]

With a carputer you may, there are many that come with windows embedded, and if you don't have much money, but have a computer you don't use. You can get a power inverter, hook it to your battery like an amplifier, and plug your computer in to that. Typical computer uses between 60 - 440 watts the upper region being for cpu intensive actions. So if you have windows, and either a cell phone with data plan, or a 3g or whatever usb internet adapter you can be chillin with any programs. If you need

[crazykidcapa]

links/idea/info for any type of carputer build just pm me. I've done my own using my own computer with upgraded ram, and my original 17 inch lcd mounted to the trunk so when you open it the monitor comes up, and for use while driving the 7 inch lilliput touchscreen is mounted in my steering wheel :P. Then audio out to the head unit, and nothing extra required for my amp since the sub preout is perfect. My 15"s and 3000 watt system makes videos, gaming, music awesome.

[JoeSparro]

Your Dumb

[tspirit99]

@JoeSparro Says the person who spells your, when in fact it's spelt "YOU'RE"

[adamzty]

you are flipping me off the whole time...?

[frsalguero89]

would you please post a link for the AMP download?

[petthekittyz]

I have an elclipse AVN deck, double din, navigation, touch screen, hard drive,

its a cool deck but someone broke into my truck and tried to rip it out, wound up messing the thing up pretty bad and its going to cost me a pretty penny to send it in for repairs, thinking about doing a minimac or some kind of pc. Need navigation and bluetooth internet would be cool!

what would you recommend?

[2UpDuc]

are you able to get FM Radio? I cant find a device to plug into the Mac Mini.  I did find the GPS Receiver(Deluo) and Software(Route 66) for the mac.

[gthing32]

$2.37 - and that was for premium at the time!

[snap159]

$2.37 for gas!!! Crap, I miss those days!

[ambush276]

what frontend did you use?

[majohnson87]

touchscreens are for noobtards

[pnolans]

U took the time to quit spankin your monkey to make a comment? kewl!

Computers are for people to stupid, to use a slide-rule! so, who's the noobtard?

[bcojoe]

Absolutely too funny... Irony: Someone calling someone else "too stupid" by saying that they are "to stupid". That is a classic that I will never tire of.

Be careful when you throw boomerangs. Sometimes they come back and hit you in the head.

[pnolans]

Yeah, well then we both get a laugh at my expense. It's part of my desire to "make the world to sing, in perfect harmony".

It was an "over-the-top" response to someone (was it you?) dishing the OP's desire to build a carputer. It was meant to be "tongue-in-cheek".

Of course, you MIGHT have got the tongue in cheek. The phrase "to stupid" is a typing error. I don't type GUD. That DOESN'T make me stupid.

And I DO remember having to use a slide rule in High School Calculus.

[bcojoe]

I understand the typo. It's just that I've seen it so many times, someone calling someone stupid and not knowing the difference between "to" and "too", or having some other glaring error... in the same message where they are calling the other person stupid. I just couldn't pass it up. That, plus the comma after stupid (to stupid, to use a), and lack of capitalization twice... Well, I fell off the fence on the side of poor grammar/spelling rather than on the side of simple typos. I do apologize.

[pnolans]

It's Ok. I work graveyard, a lot of my colleagues use IM and my typing gets REAL sloppy. I don't know if you saw the post *I* was responding to:

touchscreens are for noobtards

or something like that.

I was going to put something like "horse and buggies" are for wussies who can't ride a horse. But after watching "JayWalking" on Leno, realize that probably a lot of people wouldn't have gotten the connection. Or known what a horse is.

[z24rule]

So you made this yourself(ie have the computer in the glove box or bought it like this like the Drivesoft one.

Can you give some details on whats in this computer Harddrive Ram etc,also how do you update your music files etc do you bring your whole lap-top out to the car or just use one of those usb drive sticks.

[mining420]

where's the exhaust gas temp sensor?, f/a, etc???

[pucelle]

wow how nice i love the interface!

[poonjabbi]

does it offer car diagnostics? airflow temps, digital fuel, engine temps, fuel ratios, tire pressure, blah blah? because that would beeeeee sweet ass.

[Anhaedra]

It could be made to do that, but it's just a Mac Mini right now, it looks like.

[AccessDenied1987]

Also, the internet-

Unlimited Data plan on your cell phone, then tether the cell phone as a modem to the computer. It can be done via a data cable or bluetooth. Just buy a bluetooth dongle for the computer. I'm in the design stage for the computer in my truck. I'll have a video when it's ready. Another great thing you can do is load ECU tuning/ monitoring software to the comp and monitor your performance on the screen.

[AccessDenied1987]

Keep in mind that the computer can run GPS software and can be used strictly for that purpose when driving, then playing video's while parked.

[pinfer]

just wondering, how did you get internet on it?

[SakuraUK]

He said...Via Bluetooth via phone.

[cHukAs]

Hi, i'm spanish and i want to put a carputer in my car. Congratulations for the job, the result is awesome. What is the software what you use for handle the applications?

Regards

[luismc75]

Hi, i can see you are using a kind of On Screen Keyboard, It´s a special software or it come with the Mac OS X, Thanks a lot.

[gthing32]

KillerXtreme88: You don't know what you're talking about. Laws vary from state to state, and usually involve what the driver can see, not simply videos playing in your car. You can't make blanket statements like that.

Furthermore, I would be very surprised if ANY state would "strip it from your car" instead of just giving a ticket. Can you imagine a cop on the side of the road trying to remove your stereo!

Stop pulling stuff out of your ass and do some research on the subject.

[luismc75]

Hi, i can see your are using a kind os On Screen Keyboard or something, it´s an extra aplication or it came with the Mac OS X. Thanks

[ultimatex666]

State of California Prohibits ANY non-GPS video being displayed in Drivers view while driving. Videos can be watched in the car, but not in view of the driver. Like you said gthing, laws vary state to state.

[Anhaedra]

I don't give a shit I'm making one anyway

[KillerXtreme88]

Its actually Illegal to watch video's in your car while driving, if caught it will be stripped from your car.

[tach24]

Hot,.. very hot.... How much did the package run? Did you do the install yourself (the hardware and wiring)?

[colostomybagpiper]

A WRX w/ a Mac in it.

My dream car!

[bramwellt]

looks like he stole most of the graphics from OS X. Should he want to actually market this software, he'd have to come up with his own UI

[KillPolice]

THATS BADASS

[dezinagro01]

I've seen allot of "carputers" in my day but, this guy takes the cake. Such a clean look with the touch screen head unit and all those cool features that go beyond entertainment and navigation. Man that's nice. This is exactly what I've been looking for.

[smglancy]

haha refused. great band.

[j0hnpavl191]

is it valid to watch Refused videos while driving?

[deadgoth666]

wow mate that is awsome ! where did you get it ??? cool!
