I've been using my Dell Notebook for GPS and mp3 playback for a couple years. But, I've been checking out in-car PC solutions lately. Particularly Double Din in dash units. Seems to be a developing market, leaning strongly to the DIY types (barebones systems, and such)
Has anyone here installed an in-dash PC? Found anything better than these links, maybe? And hopefully a company in the US?
EDIT: I guess I've found a pretty neat source of information at http://store.mp3car.com/
So, I'm still doing homework and the post may have been premature. I'm still eager to hear anyone's thoughts on car PCs & installations.
I installed such a system (CarPC) in my Scion. But instead on using an in-dash display route, I chose to mount the screen between the front seats (out of a cupholder) to make the screen closer to my hand for easy touch screen operations. Many I can do without even looking.
It's also easier to pull out of the cupholder and sit in the back floorboard. No one even knows it's there...
