Get a cheap ipad 1 and whack that into your dash or something. Seeing a lot of people doing that. If you get a 3g version you can do quite a few things with that.

I see, 3g ipad would cover nearly all of that though. Does have a audio out and mic. IF you jailbreak that an an iphone you can hook up for calls and more as well. There are some interesting implementations in cars out on the web.

Your other stuff, yeah you need a pc but an ipad does offer some great options.

You can build a much better carpc for the cost of an iPad.

I struggled with cases, so I got an old laptop with a dead screen, chucked it in the boot and waited to get enough cash for a single din motorised screen.
I've already got centrafuse waiting for that day.

I got centrafuse as well - going to look at road runner/rider also - i need a screen that comes at & goes down, it cant go up as my drinks trays are directly above the stereo...

anylinks you can share?

im guessing I should get a stereo with a touchscreen & then connect the carpc to one of the video-in connectors.
I dont need a big screen really.

I think you might struggle with that :S

Can you move the drinks holder?

No links really, other than the stuff over at MP3car.

nope, cant move drink holder - its a popout tray - There are screens that pop out & go down,
I use the drinks holder on long drives & long drives would be the only time I'd use the screen really...
I have another 1 din, but thats at the bottom of the console - maybe I should try a cut out piece of cardboard
& see if it is to low.
Alternative I could get sunvisor screens - I always drive with the visors down anyway.
As for the PC - if I cant find a 1din that fits, then under the drivers seat is a pullout draw, I can quite easily fit
one in there.
