Pretty nice man!

My only question, how do you control the climate now?

the lack of the cc unity make the whole dash look very futuristic though, very cool.

If i could suggest a slot load optical drive instead of the pop out one, like

that, for a cleaner look. Keep up the good work! thumbsup.gif

Acid vag = bigger problem than a few dings.

Cool, I also have a CarPC. Its set up quite a bit differently, and still isnt totally done. Not bad, though.
I would suggest having it hibernate instead of shut down w/ your ignition. Saves a LOT of time for start up/down.
My CarPC starts in about 15-30 seconds, and shuts down in about 5-10 sec.

I moved the button for the climate control inside the armrest (left a space in there to still be able to store stuff) and the knob itself is mounted on the underdash at one of the blank panels next to the fuses

Both installs look good. Is that Alcantara, Kamakaze? I also like your play buttons Stephen Lee, are they from a keyboard?

I'm mid-install at the moment. Got some wiring and fabricating to do to get it in the car again and then I'll be adding some secret projects to control the fans (It's an ST with no air con)
