Hi velj,

A couple of people have added a touch screen overlay for using in car pcs.
The overlay itself is not too difficult to fit, (it just requires patience, and care when taking apart the fascia.)

The overlays are easy enough to get. (search for Asus eepc touch overlay on google for details).


The biggest problem however is getting the extra cabling through to either the USB interface (for converting the touch screen capacitance lines to USB) or mounting the USB converter on to the fascia (very little room there to fit, and I think it cannot be done), and pulling the USB
Ones through to the pc.

This requires a fair bit of creativity.

I haven't attempted this myself, as I haven't had time to play around With interfaces, and os options.
(I have a couple of fit2pcs at work, A trim slice pc, which would all be excellent incar pcs, but I haven't come up with an incar pc use for them yet).

Ive done it. Ill take a pic when I get a chance. There is some holes to run the ribbon cable from the touchscreen out of the fascia

Thanks jezza, yeh matti have you seen the demon 8 design one? I'm currently talking to them and I'm most likely going to get one, so then I can run it through a iPhone. They had up a instruction manual once didn't look to hard
