No, but'i'd like to some day. How are you doing the power supply? With an invertor and a standard computer PSU, some kinda custom DC-Dc converters or some special car power supply?

Drago go to MP3car.com the stuff on there runs directly off 12v dc. Everything you need for your carputer. Check the link in my sig for my power distribution setup
Vaca several people have done this including me but my lilliput is on BO still waiting. Hey have you heard of the aircon to replace the logicon I just ordered mine from England. Frees up lots of space in the dash I made a switch panel in mine. Oh, if you want to run your carputer as an MP3 do you have the converter to go from USB to RCA? Got mine at Tigerdirect

I just ordered mine he makes them by hand it is just a circuit board with interface and software, thus you need the computer which we have. I have not hooked it up but I bought the lilliput 8" VGA touchscreen to mount in my visor. The purpose was to free up the dash space go onto this page and look at my "switch panel" post that is what I used the space for. Pics of most of my setups are in my sig.

wow 8" in the visor? widescreen right? or 4.3? i have the 4.3 8" touchscreen, it was all previously mounted in my rx8 and before that in my wrx, i bought a mount from rammount and it's been passed from car to car. there awesome it's so sturdy it's overkill. oh by the way to the person earlier, i'm running a HP e-pc it's powered by a HP laptop powersupply.

I got the widescreen it is only 6" tall and I hope it is coming soon so I can get it in and off to my upholstry shop. That thing is so cool thin short perfect for visor mount.
