Carputer Ideas...need Some Help

im close to being ready to install the carputer i got off aleromaster, after i get the basic operating disks from him within the next couple weeks, and i was just curious what programs might be worth getting to run, i know theres not a whole lot outside of windows and windows media player, but any ideas? i plan to add an OBD2 here soon in the next couple months, anyone know a way to possibly set it up to run my neons off the carputer ? thats the one that has me most confused cause id like to if possible have as much as possible operated through the computer but cant figure out how to get around it all....

Plenty of fancy carputer software front ends in the forums.
And lots of carputer help/information. It's the best carputer site I was able to find

thanks for the link!

Well, I new to the idea, and am looking for something that will work and look good on my 03 ecotec coupe. Do a lot of traveling and I have used "neverlost" when i rented from hertz and like the idea. So, do I need a lap top to use ur stuff.? opc1:

my advice would be to buy the setup I have :grin: its a sweet setup ready to go, just have to install the windows XP that im waiting on from mdodgealero....otherwise its a complete ready to run setup complete with a Lilliput touchscreen and computer (256mb ddram1300, 20gb hard drive, cdrom, etc) lmk if your interested.

I just opened the new topic regarding to this - also want to make a pc, but want to have a custom one.
Will browse through the mp3car.com.

A laptop will make it easier but a carputer can be hidden in the glove box or trunk and you would just put the monitor up front. A laptops too big, unless its one of those really small Sony Vaios.
