Well the car computer hack is in full swing again. The Artigo with the cut down case now fits in the (cut up slightly) dash. You can see where I notched the hole bigger on the right side, just behind the VGA cable where it enters the Artigo. The software (Roadrunner, iGuidance etc.) seems to work ok with the new mobo.
The remaining issue is with the Xenarc 700tsv 20 pin multifunction cable. It sucks. It only works when pushed in fully. There are no screws, just a bogus clip that is very loose. So perhaps on next Electronic Night™ Dave and I will get this bolted together, or fabricate a bracket for it along with the “Brett Amp” project
