Coming soon - don't say a word wallis

I'm mounting a 7" touchscreen LCD (see diymp3.com for a review I've done) with an Epia mobo in the car. First off it'll do MP3 playback and DVD playback, with routefinding and interface to the ECU coming later.

I will put a projects page together, but my hands are rather full at the moment

chiark: how much did you pay for that kit? I'm currently playing about with a laptop screen, but it's just not the same without the touch screen

It was about 250 quid delivered. I didnt' get stung for customs. Contact dave at dscustoms.com, he's very helpful. And yes, the touchscreen does make a lot of difference!

So where are you going to put the LCD?
Impreza´s only got one DIN slot so I´m really stuck here.

Shame you can't get HUD screens. I've had a quick look round the net but can't find

No need for nice DEFI´s no more.
Only need ECUTEK

Hmmm, maybe an in-dash LCD is something to look in to?
