Looks great!

It looks pretty wavy in some spots. Is the flash exaggerating these?

I'd suggest painting the temp **** and hazard switch the same color as the bezel or get black ones.

yea..its actually not that wavy as the pictures suggest. the waviness is not as noticeable as in the pictures. i couldnt quite get it perfect because the original faceplate of the climate control is rounded, so i couldnt get it flat and flush. as for the buttons, im not sure paint would do so well, especially with the hazard button. it would be quite difficult to paint around that triangle.

i kinda have this problem when i connect my carpc to my sound system. i have all my speakers connected to my amp, which then connects to my carpc via an rca to 3.5mm jack cable. when i connect it, theres this static type noise also going on, like when a cell phone gets a call, and your speakers do that static noise, but this is consistent, and doesnt stop. can anybody help? why it does that? when i connect it to my ipod, it makes that noise too, but not as loud, and only sometimes happens. unlike with the carpc, it happens all the time and loud. any ideas? thanks in advance

Wow bro, I want one... I don't know how car-pc work though.

pnyboy27

yea..i didnt know either! i didnt know anything. i did a whole bunch of research for mine. a good site is mp3car.com. they have plenty of information on how to build one and all that good stuff.

heres a better picture of how it all looks in the car. but still with the temporary setup. i will be ordering the power supply adapter soon, so once i get that, the final installation should take place. hopefully finish this project by february!

Excellent job! Looks outstanding. Giving me motivation to do mine.

I still suggest getting a **** and hazard button from a black interior. Are they black?

pnyboy27

yea..the black interior has black buttons. i actually have a couple different options i want for the end, so im unsure of what color i want for the buttons. because im not sure if i want to leave it black or put a woodgrain vinyl on top of it. if i put the woodgrain then ill put the brown or maybe still get the black.

and as for the pix of the buttons, i will go ahead and take some tomorrow.

here are some choices for the woodgrain style i would put. not sure which part to cover. which do you think?

#1 ALL THE WAY. Though if you choose to do woodgrain color match please. It would be a shame if the woods didn't match in color.

pnyboy27

oh yea..i would definitely make sure they are all the same woodgrain. i plan to do it all in burlwood.

Holy morning wood batman!

Too much wood for my taste. Not feeling it at all. Besides, how are you gonna get a nice consistent woodgrain around all the buttons, crevices, etc?

I'd color match the bezel to an existing color in the cabin before woodgrain. That's just too much.

I actually think it looks pretty good in black.

wood = Luxury = good on LS =p

pnyboy27

i am trying to give it a kind of luxury touch. but yea..i kind of agree i guess. maybe just a few touches of wood then
