    Considering a G-Net Car PC - Pro's /Con's?

    I am considering the G-Net car PC for an install in my 2000 Jeep Wrangler. Other than it seems a little more expensive than some of the others, is there anything I should be concerned with?
    I am not interested in putting a unit together myself. I would like to buy a unit that is assembled, tested and waranteed.
    I will be using this mostly for GPS mapping, pictures/video, music and OBDII.
    Any input would be appreciated.
    Getting quality goods and service is like buying oats. If you would like clean, fresh oats you must pay a fair price. If you would like oats that have already been through the horse, those are a little cheaper.

    Looks like a standard voomII pc, which is available everywhere. Maybe they have a nice software front end... but still $995 CAN is about 50-60% more then you can buy it for elsewhere.

    The one really slick looking OEM in dash monitor is not sold by them... it is the stock dvd player in a car and they will sell you an RGB adaptor to display (poor resolution) computer content on it.

    Thanks for the input.
    I did some more research and compared the "Beginner car PC - Nicely Equipped" on MP3car/store with the G-Net. They are almost identical. The MP3Car unit has a faster processor, bigger hard drive and a DVD/CD drive. It doesn't have the Windows XP Pro operating system or the "Digital dash" front end but still appears to be a much better value even after buying Windows XP Pro and a front end.
    Anything I missed?

    wrangler fit?

    Does it FIT into the dash of a Jeep? I have a 2007 Rubicon, and it is only 1.5 DIN

    The PC will be mounted in the rear of the Jeep. I plan on installing a 10.4" screen in dash where the factory radio and A/C controls are. Remember this is a 2000 TJ. Your 2007 JK is completely different Jeep.
