2001 Ford Cougar 2.5l V6 - Car PC
I installed my CarPC a week ago. I initially planned to use a laptop, but since the laptop was broken just a few days before I wanted to install the CarPC, I used a PC with an inverter. The PC automatically turns on, when it gets power.

The screen in the interior
It was a hell to get the screen in. I needed to cut a lot of plastic, and then there was a metal clip to hold the original ford radio, without screws. I had to drill the thing off. :lol:
