Lap Top For a Radio??

MSnook · 02-26-2005, 06:48 PM

Well guys, lets try this... As oppose to getting a Kenwood DDX7015 for $1300, why not get a lap top for the same price? That way I can play a DVD, Listen to music, have navigation... But does anyone know if I can use it as my deck by itself and have speakers and subs hooked to it? I think that would be awesome, but no idea who to do it, or how to mount it.. Anyone have a lap top mounted? Or a computer CPU somewhere with a screen and keyboard or some kind of crazy set up??

They make a lot of laptop holders for cars, Here is a link to one for Chevys http://www.laptop-stand.us/chev/default.html

And one other site. http://www.jottodesk.net/

I had one in my old car, Plug in the laptop into a dc/ac supply or get the car adaptor. Use the Headphone jack, plug it into the aux jack. You have it all through the truck spkrs. If you don't have the Aux jack, but have a tape player, they have the ones that plug in like the old portable CD players.

I have delorme's street atlas program on it with the gps unit (100 bucks) and used it a lot when driving. With all the songs I saved to it I could take a trip and never hear the same song twice. And DVDs, nothing like the bigger screen of the laptop to watch it on.
