Carputer

[Hassan]

Can somebody tell me how I can connect the PSU of the carputer to the car battery? and how to power the TFT screen.

I was thinking that somebody here in Overclock3D has a computer hooked to their car so I fired this question at y'all

I am trying connect the computer onto a 98 Toyota Yaris.

What I meant by connecting the PSU to the battery is where do I connect the wire(s)

Reps will be awarded as I am in a desperate situation at the moment

you get special psu's. they send on/off signals with the cars ignition. You cant use a normal PSU. Have a google, theres loads out there. www.mini-itx.com has some.

Very Helpful, but I still do not know where on earth the other end of the power cable goes.

I would hope they use the ISO connectors.

The problem I got is not that I need a PSU. The problem is that I need to know where I have to connect the wires. Where can I find that wire in the vehicle.

I doubt it, but just in case I won't try it coz I dont wanna blow anything up
