I plan on installing one of these this year (funds permitting :roll: ).

This forum is a wealth of information: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin There are even a couple of FTOs there :wink:

GAV's got one. He built his own. It's really good and he's done his dash very well too. Looks factory.

Yeah I saw it too in hot4s, I reacon it would be good to have one, but it looks exspensive, so way I can afford it, unless I win the LOTTO.

Man apart from the intro, none of their link works, & they suppose to be a multimedia company?? :roll:

I've actually got a very similar product at work, same size, everything is the same except it doesn't have the GPS. So I take they just upgraded the software to it.

Yeah well these product are 99% from China & at the moment, I have to say they are average. You get people who will try to milk these kind of products & swear they are the best thing since slice bread. :roll:

guys dont do it... its not worth $5k.

If you really want it then buy a $2k laptop and have it fitted into your dash or something, it will probably be a faster computer then this thing.

Dont get me wrong, great idea, decent product but... $_$' way too expensive.

btw... when they say that they dont use normal pc components, so it's all blah blah great.. they really mean: "we use some laptop parts and rubber washers"

I'm actually in the middle of building a computer into my car right now... by "in the middle" i mean i'm buying a 8" (or a 7. something) touch screen from Taiwan in a month or so, and I have figured out that it is going to cost me $1400/1500 to put it all into my car... I'm ripping the interior of the car apart next week to find some room to put it in.

so i guess i'll have to see how it turns out...

but 1500$ seems a lot better than $5K

anyways

Cheers.
