Carputer

Seems a fair price. Wonder what it will get up to.

Need to start re educating myself into the world of PC technology.

Been there done that!

Try http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/index.php? for info.

I ran one for over a year but all 'carputer' software was buggy, had to purchase a lot from the US and Germany and what with power issues and start up times I opted for a Pioneer AVIC-X1.

I have a wealth of knowledge on these, if you need to know anything just ask or PM me.

Just read this on talk audio.

I have the opportunity to get my hands on a Car PC,
this is a double din HU, with flip out 7" touch screen, supposedly has built in crossovers and an EQ, also uses 32bit DAC's,
It isn't commercially available yet, and is unlikely to be so for the next 1-2yrs, only just been demo'd at SEMA show in USA,

Here are some of the specs:
CPU VIA EDEN ESP 10000 (1GHz)
Memory 512MB(2 Memory Backs up to 1GB)
LCD Front : 1.6" Graphic LCD Touch Screen
Monitor : 7" Wide Mode Digital TFT LCD Touch screen
Audio Integrated DirectSound compatible AC97 Audio CODEC
1 × 4ch stereo DirectSound Channel Output
1 × MIC Input Jack
1 × Phone Input & Mono Output Jack
2 × Stereo LINE Input
1 × SPDIF PCM Channel Output (Option)
HDD 40GB / 80GB / 120GB Available
DVD-ROM 1 × Slim Type DVD-RoM Drive
Serial Port 1 for GPS Module ( Internal )
VIDEO Input 3 × VIDEO Input Port Wireless LAN 1×Wireless LAN support
RADIO FM: 87.5 MHz ~ 108 MHz AM: 153 KHz ~ 1710 KHz
AMP 44W x 4CH
TV VHF : 2~ 13 CH; UHF : 14~ 69 CH
OS/Program WINDOW XP HOME EDITION

I cant figure out how to upload pics, so can't show any but the unit looks awesome(i think).

Please let me know what you think, of the specs above,
I have looked at other Drivesoft units or Carputers and this appears to be better but would like some opinions if anyone has any?

It would be almost perfect if it had DAB & Digital TV.
