Thread: Lilliput in-dash car PC WTPC1000

How about a link?

As far as I know, nobody has gone with one of these units. It's very likely an EPIA M-series board (M10000 or MII10000, since it's 1ghz), a commonly-used base for vehicle systems.

Also, if you're ordering direct from the manufacturer in china, repairs and support could be a major hassle, not to mention shipping and customs costs/fees. There's also the shipping time to get products to/from China. I don't know where you are, but getting products to/from China to/from the U.S. can be a pain in the ***, and expensive to boot.

I've tried to search the forum for posts with regard to this peice of hardware but haven’t managed to find any info on it, so my apologies if it is on the forum somewhere.

Has anyone used this indash PC?

I got quoted $566 from lilliput.cn directly for a minimal spec machine.

1gz cpu
256mb ram
40gb hdd.
dvd rom
onboard bluetooth,vga, sound, nic, etc.

I know its rather expensive but its really compact and prebuilt which is a very big selling point for me, couldn't be assed fiber glassing and mounting something in the trunk and with it mounted in the dash somewhere it prevents me from running too much cable from the front to the back of the car which I feel is another plus.

Besides the price does anyone feel this is a worth while purchase?

Just need a second opinion.

Thanks
Andrew

Support is not a huge issue for me - it’s just a computer, along as the hardware works and I have the drivers the only support I will need is on the software which I can find on this forum.

I also like the idea of it being in the dash so I can load cd's like a normal HU. What’s also nice is you don't have to boot up to play music cd's.

Built in PSU is also a selling point.

A definite no no ?

Anyone know of anything similar?
