My MP3-Car Project
This is what project from 2001, bevore this was standard to have in modern cars....and it did actually work. Having a real PC in your car for navigating purposes, playing back mp3-files from your music collection as cd-changers were going out of fashion, or whatching a dvd-movie beside the road is really priceless.
Like many other projects of that kind on the web, I would like to share some pictures of my system to maybe inspire and help others that are still in the assembly-state. But when you watch them, please keep in mind that I am not at all a car-electric or carpenting professional. Only a musician with two left thumbs.
