Sorry to take so long guys. I'm in the middle of moving so things are getting a little nuts.

Here's the general idea of what I was trying to do with my car computer. It hasn't quite turned out that way yet but it'll come.


Here's where I ended up storing the PC. It's not tethered down and it moves around a little but the rear floor mat keeps it pretty snug. I was a little worried about it moving around but if nothing happened after the Azusa OHV run nothing will. wink


Here's a shot of the Mocha and it's cables. You can pretty much just pull it right out. I'm still interested in making a docking station of sorts further down the road.


This next shot shows the clearance left under the passenger seat as well as my rats nest of cables. There's a wireless base station somewhere down in there which connects to my keyboard.


The OBD-II scanner dongle is stuffed up behind the center console. I was thinking about embedding it further but there's the off chance that I'll be pulling it out to connect it to someone else's car so I left it mostly accessible.


Here's where the ODB-II connector is attached to the car ECU. It was originally mounted in a downward pointing position and when I plugged in the cable it hung down too far and was a little too close to the parking brake. I ended up removing it from the bracket and stuffing it up in the dash.


Since I wasn’t able to immediately replace the radio I had to find some other place to stash the LCD. I couldn’t hang it over the radio cause I needed to fiddle with the knobs so I ended up keeping it between the seats. It's a temporary location and has a few drawbacks. As you can see in the picture it's a bit hard to read. It still has a fine layer of dust that I haven't cleaned off yet but even if it were clean it's pretty much useless in direct sunlight. Mounting it where the radio is should alleviate that somewhat. In this shot the car computer is showing the MP3 player.


Whoops...no more pictures allowed in this post. On to the next one!
