Please keep us updated on how it's working. Apparently CarX has a bug or 2. It can send out erroneus signals on the i-Bus or distort i-Bus comms leading to weird symptoms (read on a E39 board).

hi, at a stand still, waiting on a lead for the audio, don't want to chop any wires at this point. have not had any probs so far but still only testing, found a few sites on updating monitor to vga as this is the only thing that lets the upgrade down, don't get me wrong when running its excellent but the use of a vga screen makes the picture pin sharp.

hi elpeede, the ibus interface connect to your car and watches the ibus commands that fly up and down, its looking for the command from the head unit to say you selected the tape, when it sees this it starts the carx programme and at the same time switches you monitor over to see the car pc. you don't loose you cd player the only thing you loose it the tape, who uses that any way. you tap into the cars audio via the tape input on the radio in the boot,this is the lead i am waiting for.you need the Resler Ibus interface as that has the 4th wire needed to switch your monitor over.

Another thought, with the web browser how about tweaking the view / font / zoom. |

hi the laptop is 12v and runs of the ignition live, the laptop goes into standby and last for 2/3 days and will wake up with a click of the mouse, so i use the car as good as every other day so that should take care of that but if it does run flat i will set it in the bios to resume if power fails, so it will start when ignition is turned on. V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.
