Thread: Disco 2 carputer setup

I think I'll stick to my Iphone 4 Blue tacked to the dash.

I actually read that thread and thought about doing a similar thing with mine. I've even seen pictures of the climate control module mounted up high above the rear view mirror and a double din put in its place.

Fixed an issue I had with the digital radio. It was very distorted and lacked quality but it was the on board sound settings on the motherboard that needed sorting. Sounds better than the factory head unit now and it even digitalises an AM signal and turns it into FM quality.

This is nice looking, from whom in the US did you get this? As i live here it should be easy for me to get.
Thanks man!

Gday, yeah I bought if from mobile computing solutions or mo-co-so in philly. Chris is the bloke to speak to. He helped me out really well and after sales service was really good, especially from an international perspective.

I have also just test fitted my GPS dongle antenna thingy and a USB wifi antenna so I can just stream music and other things over from my home network. It's now starting to all come together.

I'll post up some photos when my batteries charge up on the camera.

Nice unit mate I have started my Carputer (like that) got the comp much the same as yours but only needed to add a dvd ($60) but as for the screen still on the fence do I get a 8" and mount on the dash (thats the set up we did for dads D1) or change the head for a pop out. but dont know about the angle can you see the maps good with out moving your head from a driver pos.

But can you get the Controls to work for a new unit????? My cd player was dead when I got the car so that is a great place to put the pc did not think of that.

OziExplorer with melways and Rooftop maps is what i use but ozi cames with a few good topo maps to they did me well in Tas.

I can still see the screen easily with the way my 7" is mounted but sometimes glare can spoil this. I was also looking for a single DIN setup with a fold out screen but they weren't VGA so I stuck with what I have.

I've got the factory steering wheel controls working well. I use a little gadget called joycon. I hardly use the touchscreen while I'm driving now.

I've yet to install oziexplorer, this is on the cards once the hardware is finalised. Definately on the cards though.

I took a video of my setup recently, I just need to upload it onto youtube or similar. That's my task now.......

I tried uploading a video of my setup but because it has music being played from it, youtube is now muting it because of some violation. I'll try uploading it to another server.

This was my solution....8 1/2" touch screen on a vesa ball pivot. Up close, angles towards driver or others and shaded position (limit glare/reflection)
