Hi I have just bought a kenwood m700 its fantastic apart from the lack of CD/DVD player so i was considering a changer..... Then i thought it would be a great idea to install a PC in my car.... Anyone any experience anyone know if my touchscreen would work my PC.

Gonna have a play with a laptop and the headunit tomorrow before going whole hog and building my cutom pc.

Any thoughts and help would be welcome.

Thanks Mate you are a star
Unfortunately the head unit will not control a PC will have to get a seperate touch Screen something like a lilliput.

I have the same problem with the stereo not turning off with the key. Bought the adapter from peugeot (no good)
Bought an adapter from halfords(no good)
Gonna have a look at the wires today with my multimeter and see what i can find out.

Also run the wires for the unit down the inside of the sill under the carpet a very easy job and looks fantastic.
