I knocked this litte baby into the car this week, pretty sweet, provides mpeg movie player, music and photo viewer, takes any 3.5 HDD upto 500GB and costs around £130 + disk

Data is loaded via USB2, so its velcroed into the car for easy removal

Can also be used in the house or car and has analogue & digital audio outs Coax and optical, component video, s-video and cvbs.

Also comes with a car kit and remote extender lead to install in the dash, so the unit is installed in the boot.

very nice!!.. are you using a Dietz 1417 along with it??..

 

[craigyb]

No, as you can see, there is a TV tuner 2 units below which provides 2x Aux video inputs. I use input 1 for the Media player, input 2 is spare.

I also added a power controller, leaves the power on the media player for 20 mins after the ignition is off, so you can get fuel etc without rebooting the player.

i didnt realize that was the tv tuner in the pic.. cool..

great idea with the power controller..


i just converted my EU unit to US software and i really dont like how the US shuts off when you turn off the key.. the EU only shut off when you remove the key..

oh well, i think the benefits of the US software out-weigh staying with the EU software and patched US DVD.. but if we could get rid of the disclaimer and have the unit stay on until the key is removed that would be perfect!!..

I would think that with all of these smart minds around here, someone would have figured it out, but that it'll come in time. Do you think it requires some kind of hex editing?

No, as you can see, ...

Am I the only one that can't see the pictures? All I see is a spaceholder.

I notice the pictures are on a different website - maybe a firewall issue?

Any chance of uploading the pictures onto this forum and changing the links please?

sweet pix. I'd love to see some pix of the MP3 screen and Pix viewer.

Looks like your boot is getting stacked with components. Maybe it's time to think about putting an auxilary fan in there.

Glad to see that you have a pbox too.

Now you just need SAT TV and SAT radio and you'll be completely covered.

Nice work!

I dont know about SAT, but my next project is to try and get DIGITAL terrestrial TV and radio working. I need to have a chat will 911sc as he bought a DVB tuner recently.
