RE: post your in dash dvd/gps navigation systems
I've tried finding aftermarket units with build in hard drives for uploading mp3 files, I read a review that the pioneer unit lets you do it but you have to rip the files while listening to audio cds at accelerated rate rather than just copying from an mp3 cd. Anyone have a recomendation for a unit that not only performs gps well but allows you to upload standard mp3s from a data disc?

The main thing I like abouttheOEMsystemover aftermarket units is the factory appearance. It's more expensive than aftermarket though- a $2k option. Here's a picture.
The new Ford system with Sync and Sirius traffic/weather data looks terrific though, would love to have that system!

I have the Pioneer Avic Z1 with the Z3 upgraded HD I liked it soo much that I bought the Pioneer Avic Z2 for My Escalade and upgraded the HD to the Z3 HD. When you rip the tracks the sound is not accelarated that is false it does rip them accelaerated but the sound is at normal speed.

Both Kenwood and Pioneer look great but how do the power compare with the OEM Shaker500 ?
I know, both of the should have 4x50W but how they are in real life.

http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/fabr...ps-indash.html <- this man did it first and is looking at making a turnkey solution to a carpc
as for mine
is a msi fuzzy board with a c2d mobile proc
2g of ram
320g laptop harddrive
onboard sound and video
the screen is a xenarc 700stv that i cut the front bezel to fit into a trim kit
the pc is in a aluminum chassis attached to the trim kit to make a oem like setup its bolts into place with out any mod the the car at all i even used the trim kit wireing harness to hook the speakers, subs up i have a dc-dc power supply thats made for carpcs hooked up to the radio circut it only draws a max of 15 amps so it fits very nicely, it sees when the ignition is turned of and starts or shuts the comp off accordily. i have a amp that powers the 4 reg speakers under the passenger seat and have a usb hub in the center console with a power switch (incase of lockups) and a valey switch to keep the comp off while the ignition is on. so no one can mess with my Carpc but me

RE: post your in dash dvd/gps navigation systems
my reason being is that i can't stand the gap that aftermarket units leave in the radio well. i was looking into car pcs and see if they make a screen able enough to fill out the entire area out, just like the OEM navigation unit.
