hey thats not a bad idea Could maybe have a small power pack to power the speakers via the computer and if the alarm goes of have a 140dB squeel going through the speakers Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

is that dos program Mpxplay?

possibly i only looked at it twice and that was about 8 or more months ago... it has IR support built into it if that helps, sorry i cant remember its name... JaxonD24 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

mm, yeah I think mpxplay was a bit basic to have iR support Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeh it was very basic. I was going to use it how ever. but network support in dos was way too slow! I'm planning on using a network to upload songs, and manage playlists etc. I just need a really long network cable now and a spare 10/100 card Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

how long do you need the cable to be? You would need a crossover cable too wouldnt you? (if going from computer to computer). Hey where are you located? I can make cables....

jaxond24: Thanks for the offer, i may take you up on that when i get it all sorted and installed in the car It would have to be probably 20m..i havn't measured though just yet. And i have a 10/100 switch, so just a normal striaght through cat 5 cable is needed. on another note..this is an awsome installation of a computer in a car. you can't say this doesn't look swarve! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah thats a pretty neat installation! I wish mine looked like that Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I know a guy with a cortina who is doing a similar installation with a 12.1" TFT in a custom console like that, when he is finished i'll post some pics.

prob a stupid question but why would u put a comp in your car? just to play music?
