They seem pretty legit. I enquired about something, and they sent me a price list, and a follow up email asking if I needed any help with anything, and they have sent a updated price lists every couple of weeks since.

Hi Guys,

I have a pretty well complete setup you can check in a past message.

I have actually been inside www.polares.com.au (Porares) and they are basicly a computer shop that sells car PC stuff.

There gear all looks fine and they have some units setup for demo.

I did not get any of my gear from there other than my mini bluetooth keyboard.

only due to liking are gear in the car PC Market.

Awesome. I'm also on the southside, but I recently removed my car PC and sold most of the components, so I'm back to using the stock radio.

+1 for QLD meet,

I'm originally from Brisbane, now central Qld (electrical apprentice) looking to install dual touchscreen PC in a VX berlina wagon.

Wicked idea mate. Let me know which parts you're thinking of getting. I'm looking for ideas for my next car PC (sold my current one). I won't be building it till December at the earliest.

Where's a good location for a meetup?

Just setting up my carpc install. I'm up near Cairns.

Hey

I am from the capital of Qld which is Tully

!!I have a BMW E46 323CI. I am planning on doing the pc install in it. Everything is still very daunting as i am new to this. I will also be running my 2x12" RF subs and splits. They will be driven by a Pioneer and Sony amp respectively! I am hoping its all as easy as everyone makes it out to be.
