    installing a car pc???

    i want to install a car pc in my 2002 mustang gt. it has a 2 din slot for the radio. the current mach 460 headunit went out on me so i want something different than the radios you can buy anywhere. and the car pc will be it since it can monitor the engine as well. what and where can i find a good setup that isnt overdoing it. it will mostly be used for the radio and engine control functions but i would like to store music in it as well. please help me, im sooo lost in this new thing. lol.

    You have to build it from pretty much scratch. Go to the faq section and start reading.............

    Or buy a premade unit like those available in the mp3car.com store.

    You should check out blk02si's stang install. Lots of good info w/ pics and it should be a great resource for you to look up all that you need to get started.
