[QUOTE="prochobo, post: 1995321, member: 567127"] There are a few things I don't understand about carputers. One, is what is the point of having a carputer turn on when you remote start when you'll only have to shut off the car to start it again? I'm guessing when the remote start is running, you stick your key into the ACC position and then shut the car down? Two, power. I know how you get power to the computer. . . but is the PS wired up like an amp? You know, power, remote, ground? Connect the wires with some connectors and you're done? Also, how do you get power to the LCD? I see the Lilliputs have a cigarette lighter, but I don't want to give up my radar detector. Is there a way to splice that and just hook it up to power and ground? Three, preouts. Are there any cards out there with a decent preout over 2v. Ideally, it would be 5v. Are you confined to using the 3.5mm to RCA adapters, or is there actually a card that would have at least front and rear RCA outputs? [/QUOTE]
