Designing the best car audio system for the TP

I don't think using touch to control the phone would be possible but I could be wrong. I think you would have to have a computer with touch capabilities running something like mymobiler to get that to work. But that would be great! Maybe you could put your phone by your hand or get a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to control it.

Sorry if it was mentioned in an earlier post, I didn't read any of it...

I have a 93 Volkswagen Corrado and I actually use my TP all the time for music in it since the FM receiver sucks at receiving most signals...

I currently just run an FM transmitter and go that way...

However, I will be upgrading my sound system in the not too far distant future and will be getting a Boss headunit with Blutooth and than pair that with a car charger... Since ya know, our batts suck and swapping batteries w/o pulling over is kinda dangerous.

Sooo with that said, I was wondering if anyone could perhaps make a program that would shut off your bluetooth transmission from the TP when you are receiving a call and than reconnect once you get off the phone?

I know it sounds weird lol... But that's the idea I had.

my current setup:
- JL Audio 10" w7
- JL Audio Clean Sweep
- JL Audio 500/1 Amp
- JL Audio 300/4 Amp
- JL Audio Speakers (i forget the type)
- 30 gb ipod video/ tp 16gb

Sound Quality is great

I have no clue what azentek or whatever is and I just stumbled across this but look into a Liliput either screen or all-in-one carputer..They're not out $2500 usually 200-500..pair that with a equalizer..Connect those to to an amplifier..Connect that to 4 JL, Alpine or Pioneer speakers..

And the optional subs..go with kicker, JL, or MTX

The liliputs are usually touchscreen and have no problems with bluetooth or syncing our HTCs..Again they are computers so tethering and all would work just like we were at home

I have a Kenwood DDX-6019 and my Touch Pro works great with it. Can use it for GPS, movies, Youtube, Internet, or streaming music.

I have a long TV-Out cable hooked to one of the audio/video inputs on the head unit, and then the cable runs behind the dash and into the glove box. Whenever I want to hook up the Touch Pro, just open the glove box, pull the cable out and hook it up.

I had a carputer in my truck & ended up selling it on ebay & replacing it with the setup in my earlier post.

IMHO, you can get as many or more features at a much cheaper price with a system like mine or a few of the others listed here (& it's easier for most peoiple to install).

There is not ONE SINGLE feature that I can think of that a carputer will do that my setup + my TP with unlimited data won't do.

does anyone know where I can get a cheap monitor that takes composite inputs? I figure I'll just route the audio to my regular cd player and put the video on the bigger screen. That or find a portable dvd player that has composite inputs and do the same.

Mine is hooked up in my car. I want to know if you can charge the phone and hook up the tv out at the same time.

I used to have 2 headrests with screens in them. I will hook you up cheap if I can find them. Even if you didn't want the headrests you could take the screens out and use them.
