#9566, "Has anyone done a carputer in their eclipse?"
I'm toying with the idea of building a carputer for my Eclipse. I have one of those old clarion 310c autopc's but it just doesn't have the flexibility that a carputer has. I was thinking of selling this unit on ebay and building a carputer and putting one of these Lilliput screens in with a touchscreen overlay added on: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=67771&item=5713106835&rd=1 Has anybody built one for their eclipse, if so any pics? I have wireless at my house and I'm just loving the thought of uploading songs/videos into my carputer while it's parked in the garage. Plus there's just so much more you can do with it.

bah, $12,000 installed..yeah right! I'm really not looking for something like that. I'm looking at spending $500 for everything. I've learned alot about this by reading the forums at www.mp3car.com. There's tons of posts with examples in the "show off your project" forum here: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=25 . I just haven't seen an 2nd Gen Eclipse with one and would like to get some ideas.

I've got one. But i am waiting to post pics cuz i am lazy. 7" lilliput molded into dash, wifi, gps, mp3, dvd, netstumbler for free wifi, Bluetooth cell service, etc etc etc.
I have all the parts, enough to build a carputer if you want them. I bought 2 of everything, 1 for me and 1 for the gf but she doesnt want it.
all you need on top of that is the lilliput. puts you under $500 no problemo.
EDIT: oh by the way Drivesoft is GAY. GAY GAY GAY. useless shit. they install a regular Carputer Mini-ITX fucking computer and then install a custom front end software. Just like mediacar or mediaengine which are both free front ends.
