I have a 05 Baja Turbo with leather. I am thinking of installing a mini computer, in dash touch screen, GPS, Back camera. I can get the the hard ware from www.mp3car.com. Any comments or help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have a laptop mounted underneith the seat on the driver side and an inverter underneith the passenger seat i had to unbolt and turn the sub sideways so both would fit right i have a lilput touchscreen display in the dash tying the whole system together.

thankx. thats exactly the same screen and it should fit where the radio presently sits. LOVE TO SEE A PIC!! The computer should fit right under the screen with minimum modification.(it is only 6.5"X 2" 6.5" Aopen Pandora Mini PC. Did you connect the existing speakers? Can you get AM or are you restricted to FM? How about the GPS? and given any thought to rear back up camera?

I opted for an aftermarket headunit i didnt go for a backup camera for the fact that the car is so small in my opinion plus i dont trust tech that much "i work in IT" gps i have a antenna ran outside to the groove right above the hood my sirius reciver and gps live there i plan on ripping the nub antenna and replacing it with a better antenna that will do wifi cell and terestral will try and get you some pics on monday
