That's one of the nice things about having a carpc that you can store huge amounts of mp3s in there from streaming trance internet stations.

Also can you show us some snap shots of the thumb drive or is this not done yet. I have been looking to begin building mine as I want this setup so I can run the AEM without any additonal units in the car (ie lugging a laptop around).

is the radio intergrated??? where is the tuner?
I have an HD radio receiver which is plugged into the PC and controlled with Centrafuse.

I'm using iGuidance with a plugin to use it in Centrafuse.


I will reload the install pictures later today

The thumbdrive is not finished yet.

As for the AEM, I'm using the power FC with the Datalogger and being able to monitor and make adjustments w/o a laptop is awesome.

A lot of dudes just use the GlobalSat USB GPS receivers that look like a puck and they pull the signal in quite nicely since it has the SirfSTAR chip in there. Things are cheap as well, like 30 bucks.

I got sponsor by Centrafuse and they provide the Standard Edition w/o Nav and I have never used it so I cant really say.I know it looks nice from what you can see on the Standard version.

Anyone planning on doing a CarPC should jump on the sale Centrafuse is having. 50% off the software !!! thats $125 for Nav edition and $62 for Standard !!!

Here is the Link to my PC build on car domain: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3006934/2

No wiring to run from the back of the car.
If not I would have had to run:
•USB for touch screen
•RGB for screen
•USB extensions for hub
•SERIAL for Power FC
•WIRING for reset button and Power LEDs
•WIRING for 12+ and Ignition
•USB for Slot DVD player

No thanks!
