"How To Attach Hard Drive in 2007 Toyota Camry GPS Unit"

2007 Toyota Camry Front Left Side View

I have a 2007 Toyota Camry with GPS touch screen. I was wondering if anyone know how to attach a hard drive to it, in order to play mp3′s off a hard drive rather than CD’s.

Answer: Not possible without some computing power. The next best thing is a carputer. One idea is to have a “non-hard drive” based computer that runs stand alone Windows XP from a Bootable USB drive that runs the music player of your choice using plugins. Your MP3′s are stored on another USB drive that can be removed for editing. This all ties into your sound system (amps, subs/speakers). No hard drive means nothing will crash. A touch screen display is really the only other piece of equipment needed that can be custom mounted in your dash. Look up BartPE and Sherpya. These two guys found a way to run the full GUI of Windows XP on a USB drive (under 600 Mb). A shuttle style computer is all you need for the computer. You can even have 5.1 or 7.1 Dolby digital.

Here is a good place to start:
