The Final Year Project project is In-Car Entertainment Maintenance System (ICEMAN) focusing on the interface of ICEMAN and the integration of media. The existing Car Computer (Carputer) is only used for entertainment purposes such as playing DivX and MP3s. With the ICEMAN, further functions will be expanded such as the maintenance system of the car and voice recognition software integrated within the ICEMAN. The objective of this project is to produce a user-friendly interface, integrating the media into the ICEMAN and building the ICEMAN itself. The first part of this project would be the development of the software for the ICEMAN. This covers on the user-friendliness and the integration of media. The media application will achieve user-friendliness in terms of easy understanding and easy usage by avoiding clutterness. Implementation of it can be seen such as by using big graphical icons and drop-down menu. The second part of the research will cover the hardware installation of the ICEMAN into the car. This research will cover on the best setup that can be applied to the ICEMAN according to the time and cost constraints available. The setting up of the ICEMAN will be explained. The methodology used to develop the MediaBox Application is the V-Model. A Carputer by the name of ICEMAN will be produced as the end-product of this project.
