Hi
I think its time I put a Carputer in my 75, I have a touch screen that will fit nicely in front of the radio area so next I need to get a system but unlike most landcruisers in the 75 pickup there is not a lot of space.
After reading another post on here I am going to run centrafuse.
However I have a spare Dell Laptop and if i could fit it behind or under the seats i could use that.
My problem is once its fitted it will be a pain to get at and will have to be closed. Once running I can shut it down from the screen and then turn off the power with a fitted switch but I cant think of a way to start it without pressing the button which means i have to open the lid (That i cant get at).
Anyone have a trick to switch on a laptop when its closed.
Also does anyone have a supplier for a system that would fit in the double din radio area.
Thanks
