    I love those cars. I had a hard time finding that Jetta here in the Netherlands after Fast and the Furious. I was obsessed by Jesse's white Jetta. After 2 months it turned out they're called Vento's here :rolleyes:

    Anyway, perfect project!!

    Incredible. That's SO much better than the system that comes in the BMW 7 series, and I bet its cheaper too! Damned.

    Awesome project. I'd be more than proud to have it sitting on my desk, and yet it's stuffed away in a trunk somewhere. :)

    Now that we've seen how you did the computer hardware, it would be sweet to see how your friend fit it into the car and handeled the software end.

    I'm looking forward to your next project. I've wanted to do an mp3 box for a long time, but it gets so cold in my car during the winter (and hot during the summer). I'm afraid it would get damaged.

    Great Job! I've been dreaming up an idea for a case similar to this but with a built in LCD


    I'm just sad it will be hidden in the trunk of a car :(

    Is it me or is the bent metal touching the caps? I would think that is earthed? :eeek:

    capacitors usually have a plastic coating for that reason. If i remember my physics lesson right, that part of the capacitor isnt actualy attached to any of the plates inside.

    still i could be wrong.

    Hi Spyder

    I seldom post anything here, cause I get ideas for a progect and it never materializes. But I am really interested in the software used for the system you made. I can so use that in my car at this point and time.
    Thanks.

    Spyder, what touchscreen, LCD did you use. I've been looking into doing some thing like this, but can't really decide on an LCD.

    Your case fan creates some nice subtle lighting especially with the slightly see-through blue acrlyic case panel, looks really nice.

    major props on this project: that is some hot action you've got there. The blue plexi is amazing with the lighting and the touchscreen is just icing on the cake. Bravo!
