    Start researching here: New to CarPCs? Don't know where to start?

    For advanced reading, move on to here: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/the-faq-emporium/
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?

    This is a do-it-yourself kinda place - we aren't you, we all want different things out of this kind of project.

    One of these:


    Seriously....


    If you can't read the FAQs and figure out what you need to install a PC in your ride, then you need a job that pays enough for you to fork over teh bucks to someone who does know or can figure it out.
    This isn't rocket science, man. It's installing a PC in a vehicle.
