fendermb4 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 With the talk of MP3 players in the other thread, I thought I'd post the build of a Jeeputer in my XJ. Here is a picture of the screen installed: Here is a page detailing the build of that bezel, as well as some information about the computer itself: http://www.pragmaticutopia.com/index.ph ... iew&id=110 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feerocknok Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 That's super trick, but what is missing from the dash now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendermb4 Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 That's super trick, but what is missing from the dash now? Nothing, thats just where the old radio was. The 97+ XJ's use a 1.5 din radio, so the hole was pretty big to start with. I made it a little bigger to fit the touch screen, but thats all.

ifixit8 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 nice work!! looks very good. I just recently helped a coworker do the same in his ponitac G6. it was a little easier for him though with the G6 having a double din opening from the factory. and he choose to have the computer in a regular case mounted in the trunk.

fendermb4 Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 that is really sweet. what do you use it for just music? Also movies and GPS. The movies are nice if you grab a bit at a drive through or something, you can watch a movie while you eat. The GPS is also handy, I use some software called MapMonkey that gives turn by turn directions and stuff. I thought I would use it for other stuff, like email or video games or something - but I never do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
