Welcome to 1999. And Jam, the “carputer” is an input to the head unit, just like a CD changer or iPod. ---

Yeah the back of that screen is at least as deep as it is wide and goes far into the dash. The heat back there must be enough they he could have deleted his heater core… if he didn’t already have to remove it to fit the damn screen, lol. I saved those pics years ago. Probably about '02 or '03. ---

There are aftermarket touch panels for monitors, they connect to software via USB or serial. I don’t think that’s a CRT given how flat and matte finish it is. It’s tough to tell though…it sure is clunky as fuck in there. LOL Nobody noted the spice girls on the monitor in windows media player? I mean…who would rock a carputer without loading some spice girls? HAHA [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/anyone-ever-use-have-a-carputer/156352.md?page=2)
