Well, I've been thinking more about my carputer project lately. I finally connected my LCD to it's controller and fired it up.
I don't have the touchscreen overlay yet. The monitor is awesome though. It's modified with 4 backlights for bright conditions, and should look good even in direct sunlight. I still need to rig a dimmer knob, so I can change brightness without having to navigate thru the OSD.
I hope to have time while I'm home for the holidays to make a mold from my current dash. The first step in making the new dash layout with relocated vents, monitor, head unit, slot load DVD/CD-RW, USB, Firewire, and AUX audio.
Finished project will hopefully be done by late spring.
