The Car PC Project… Again

The Car PC project has been re-jumpstarted (again) after months of nothingness and no updates. I am currently doing something that I can safely call a step forward the project completion. Right now I am downloading the 16 MB file front end software of the Mazda 3 Car PC, Ride Runner (formerly RoadRunner).. The GUI interface of the whole Car PC thingy…

UPDATE: there! just finished installing it together with WinAmp and the Classic Media Player thing with DivX codec. After setting the path of the players, test it with one of my Divx movies and it worked!

Prior to installing RideRunner, I did manage to install the driver for the TFT LCD VGA color screen monitor (which is also knows as the VM80D TFT LCD VGA monitor)… so the pen and the touch screen monitor now is also working.

Next thing that I am going to do is to configure the USB GPS. Although I have installed it and all, I still have doubt that I did it right…

Till next time! Stay tuned!
