Had my Supra for about nearly 1 year now been using the INCAR PC set up basically as i got it running Media software & being a semi computer wiz kid not set it up to all the latest uses that are on the go now.

 

All that i have been using it fow is basically playing mp3's

 

Things that i would like to have done are as follows :

 

1.Have a decent upgrade to like RoadRunner that's most are using now.

 

2.Have a decent 3D Navigation programme running on it similar to the latest TomTom's with full UK postcodes & westorn europe installed.

 

3.What's the best or good small Gps reciever to have.

 

4.Possible mini cam set up connected so can record car going on the road trips when needed

 

5.If possible radio stations as well

 

6.Any other idea's that are usefull to install as well that you recommend.

 

Ice & Pc specs are:

now thats nice, but not too keen on the big screen on the dash, could have relocated heater controls and monted it in there

 

I know still thinking of where to locate touchscreen to better location I might get there in the end

But in the flesh does'nt look to bad not to much space left to fit somewhere nicer

Why not go for the ulitimate, would be a pain though, like the Volvo S80 (I think thats the model) the screen rises from the dash.

I may be/probably am/I am I am ok/hm...wrong...but is there a way to have engine sensor stuff input into the PC and then be displayed in a pretty graph thing?

Very nice indeed Lui - can't wait until you get this up and running m8:salute:

You can buy an HKS CAMP (Computer Automobile Multi-Player), which monitors approx 15 different outputs from the ECU. It's really just a bit of a gimmick but quite cool in some respects. You can have approx 10 different bar-graph functions on the screen at any one point or you can even opt for the tropical-fish option where each fish on the monitor corresponds to an engine function (oil temp, water temp and speed etc). The fish swim around the tank (i.e. the screen) and the healthier they look; the better the engine components are - this is quite a calming and therapeutic mode; right up until the moment when you crash your car since you weren't looking where you were going in the first instance!!

 

The final option is for the display to show 2 x 60mm digital gauges simultaneously (you can pick from a list of approx 10 gauges or so!)

 

Regards buddy, Andrew:thumbs:
