Hi Helpful people... My brother is starting to build a panel van, and because I am more into electronics than he is, he wants me to make him some gadgets for his car. The Idea we discussed goes as follows:
The whole system is controlled by a normal computer, being displayed by a colour touch screen (expensive if anyone knows of a cheap source), running on either Linux or Windows. From there he can do anything, such as control the aircon, windows, lock doors and play MP3s. It needs to tell him the time, and temperature. He also wants park distance control (both beeping and actual distance!) and a LCD on the back fin to display messages to the cars behind. He also expects me to put in a radio, and a TELEVISION RECEIVER. I think he is expecting too much, but if I can actually pull this off, we'll have one really cool car... If anyone has any ideas, previous experience... please, please help... :!:
