Curious if anyone who has the EFI setup has thought about, tried or has done the following :
Place a small netbook laptop behind the passenger seat, could use velcro to keep it in place. Netbook runs off of battery or could operate from an adapter plugged into the auxillary power port.
Connect into the EFI via the rs232 (usb adapater, typical connection).
Using a vga to rca scan converter, plug the netbook into an in-car video setup. RCA would connect into a "video in" port of the in-car video.
Have the netbook auto boot to the editor utility on power up, with the data controls screen pre-set and positioned appropriately for viewing via the in-car video screen.
I have a 7" dvd/video setup currently that I use as a rear-view camera. I could easily hit the video selection button and switch over to the data controls screen, viewing pre-selected controls in real time.
Has anyone tried this?
