Default found carputer in es300

i was searching the web mainly on a cool site called mp3car.com (its all about carputers)
carputer is when you install an actual computer to run off of your car voltage using a dc to dc converter which keeps voltage at a steady 12 v
anyways im looking to do this with a liliput touch screen and found another es300 owner has done this i dont know if they are on here
nice install too!!
some pics





Heres the link to his site

i would look into getting a Xenarc screen, much better quality IMO.

I've had mine now for 2+ years now...ZERO problems

thats armrit's car. He told me he used to be on clublexus but got banned bcuz he advertised his ghosteyes too much.

he definitely got a nice setup.

I had planned everything out for a carputer this summer. but now funds are limited due to suspension and clutch problems. looks like i'll have to wait till next summer. =[

I am just guessing, but judging by the controls on the wheel, this looks like the wood steering wheel that came off of a 1998-2000 LS400.

A 12v DC to 115v AC converter to computer charger providing computer required DC provides better and cleaner power to the computer than the 12v DC to computer required DC directly.

That is direct current to alternating currect to direct current rather than direct current to direct current.
