    what car are you running? this helps with the radio issue

    if you have a spare laptop, i suggest using that as a guide first. they are (arguably) cheaper to configure since the parts are already combined.
    also, if you have a spare computer around, try putting a system together and run it in your car

    like you said, you just want something to try out, and why pay for something you might not enjoy?

    That is too much to ask. You can find this info already in the site without even searching. Welcome and good luck.

    You won't be able to do all of that with a cheap setup. Your best bet would be to go with a shuttle box with an Opus power supply, but it's not cheap. There are other options that are cheaper, but look non-good. There are options that look better, even stock, but they're not cheap at all.

    This post, a few threads down....asked the same question. You might want to read it.
    Build my PC?

    Other than that, check out the "Show off your project" threads. Plenty of examples that list their parts as well.
