Carputer + Eclipse AVN Series?

Alright. After years of driving a ****box (Mercury Mystique)...I am finally buying something that wont stop me from getting laid (2007 Scion tC). My lack of "skills" will stop me.

Anyways. I want a computer in the car...and I want Navigation. I want it without major modifications.

I was looking at the Eclipse AVN 5500...which is sweet...but is there any way to plug a computer into it? Touchscreen doesnt have to work. All I want to do is run a PC on the screen?

If not, is there an out-of-the-box unit that would accept a monitor input.

I know...I'm a ******* noob. Give me a break.

Thanks for the help...this board rocks.

im starting to answer my own questions. Lilliput 7" In-Dash works, but how about something without the flip up screen...something along the lines of the Eclipse where it slides down for the disc.

Not sure how much the AVN 5500 costs, but take a look at the Infill T3 for a pre-made, almost ready to go unit.

Ah...close man. I'm looking for something with internet capability...so I was thinking just a straight on VGA touchscreen with something like the Eclipse, and be able to plug in a computer into one of its inputs

The only thing i've seen so far is the Lilliput in-dash, but just wanted to see what else, if anything, is good for in-dash monitors. I am usually a google-slut, but I cant find an answer to this today.
