If I remove the stock head unit and put an in car computer in the car, will all the electronics still work?

(ie: leave the wiring harness not plugged into anything)

 

as far as i know the only thing that wouldnt work is your on star if you have it.

 

wait.... wht do u want to do to ur car? put in another head unit?


becuase from the sounds of it u want to do full standalone or someshit... tht would be interesting...

 

In car PC.. with touchscreen monitor... M-Audio Delta 1010LT sound car for processing all the sound in the car.. hooked directly into my amplifiers..

This eliminates the head unit all together.

Onstar I do not have so im not worried..thats good, anything else?

 

all in all thts equivalent to a new headunit, not a car pc. thts completly different. but ya, ur car will run without the stock HU. pull the fuse and see wht happens...

 

its a computer with a sound card.. like has a motherboard and everything.. You will see when I have it all done.. I have dvd writing drive as well so I can play and record movies..

It will be running windows.

 

well theres yer problem....


most people would assume you were running a "computer" to controll all the functions of your engine. not just for entertainment purposes. not dising u or anything. but ya everything will work out for u no problem. ur car can run without ur headunit

 

alright.. thats what I thought.. and yea you can add a diagnostic port to hook up hptuners.. but I will have to figure out if the power supply can handle the amount of peripherals im hooking up to it.. I might have to add another power supply..

Thanks for your help.. and yea windows is ***** but I want something compatible with the frontend software you use to control everything by touch.

 

I want to see this **** when it's done!!!

 

Give me a couple weeks! She will be done.. A lot of fab work though.. already got my interior panels from a junkyard. hacking will commence sunday/monday

 

nothing will work if the stock unit is unpluged . abs...air bags etc

 

What kind of car do you have?

 

so im getting mixed answers now.. does anyone know for sure whether or not everything will work if the stock radio is disconnected?

 

trust me everything will work, go try for urself and pull the radio fuse out.

 

depending on the year. If it's the 07, you wont get warning chimes anymore through the front left speaker

if you consider that "electronics"

 

What year is your car, lol. Good start.

 

car pc will work fine, Only thing is lost is chimes on all 07+ vehicles. Depending on how you wire your stuff you may want to invest in the cheap harnesses for constant and ground along with the stock amp remote assuming u have the pioneer package. Happy installing post up pics here and theres tons of info on MP3car.com
