Car Computer / CarPC - Upcoming Build and Journal

Alstann

^ Looks like a Galaxy Tab 7 or something like that.

After watching Sliknik's install videos (awesome videos in that sticky, by the way.), I think I'm set on mounting the CarPC on where he mounted the amp. I'm also gonna mount the amp in the same place. I'll get some L-brackets to hard mount the PC to the wood boards alongside the amp, and it should be swell.

I was looking at how to run the power cable into my cabin, and it seems that on the 2012's, there's a hell of a lot more stuff stored in the "brake fluid" compartment. There's two resivoirs of fluid, and it all intersects where the grommet usually is, making it impossible to reach from there. I think I'm gonna cut into the main wire harness grommet, and just feed it through there. Moisture seals shouldn't really be an issue unless I flood my engine bay, in which case I have more serious issues. From there, everything else is just interior stuff, which I'm not too worried about.

All I need before I start putting this thing in is to test my DC-DC power supply, and the speaker wire harness. After that, my install will commence. I'll keep you guys updated as I go along. Hopefully next weekend, the project will be ready to rock and roll.
