[QUOTE="Megalomaniac, post: 2420464, member: 564825"] dont wire the start up control like i did then. i wired mine to were the computer boots when remote started. lets say you dont have a remote start. when you crank to start the car/computer the computer will boot up. But in the cold weather the HDD wont get detected. so i say install a switch to the startup controller,its easy you just hook up a switch to the ignition wire coming to the startupcontroller, like yo do on stereos only diferance is on a stereo you put the switch on the remote wire. now with that switch your carputer wont turn on imediately, that gives you time for your car to warm up a bit then hit that switch and bam it will boot fine, or some people have made their own tempreture sensors to heat up the hdd to a certain temp to keep it stable(i dont really know how to do that) [/QUOTE]
