One of the biggest challenges was to switch the regular navigation screen with a touch screen...it involved a bit of soldering and fabrication, but the finished product looks great...I also extended the LEDs and Power button to the front of the car, in a very presentable way!

Next video ill show you how i took the computer from its case and made a special "carputer case" from the center console!

  • ...the only problem with that is that the parts list is always changing and improving

  • The total working computer setup costs $1200 and counting.

  • ok... got an 8 and i'm getting ready to do the exact same setup! How did you get the buttons to open and close the nav hood still???

  • @jdenman03 Hey man, thanks for the comment. To get the nav hood to open requires some patients. You should have a mark on the gears to line them up(factory), but you cant rely on this since you probably took the whole assembly apart. Long story short the teeth on the geared assembly HAVE to be lined up perfectly. If you have them lined up and you think youre right on the money, and it doesnt work, try ofsetting it by one tooth- tighteniing it up and trying it agian...all else fails email me!

  • im going to do a write up, but overall close to $600 and counting.

see all
