Ok I have a flipout stereo in my car. I'm wondering if I can somehow set it up to show my gauges in Megatune. That would be so cool. Anybody ever done it? What all would be involved? Seem like I'd need my laptop hooked up probably. That would suck. The stereo is a fancy Pioneer. It has like 100 different inputs in the back. Seriously. Here's some pics of the unit.

FWIW I only paid 200 bucks for this flipout used. That's why I bought it. Guy I bought it from paid 700 for it new about a year ago and needed cash.

Hmm. I'm not really wanting to be able to control Megatune through the touchscreen or any of that. I just wanted to be able to flip the screen out and see my gauges. Like when you plug in your laptop and turn on megatune your 8 gauges come on. So in car PC. Hmm. Looks involved and $$$. I was hoping there was a cheap easy bastard way to make it work.

You could probably use the HU as a display for an in-car PC also. Ideally, one of those many EXT/AUX inputs will be an HD-15 VGA input. If not, find a PC with composite or S-video output.
