Question Newbie to CarPc's!

Hi all, had a look around the forum and looks like a great site! Found out some great information on here!

I drive a 2000 Vauxhall Astra 3 door! And am hoping to fit a low spec single din pc to use with a 5" non touch screen! Only for use with SatNav, Media and Engine Diag and live info! The one problem I have is my budget, I have no exact budget, but I am hoping to do it for as little as possible, with maximum effect!

^^ A challenge I know, but it's worth a try!

Im not sure if I should post this here, but I will for now and please inform me if I need to start a new thread, and accept my apologies!

As mentioned above I am hoping to find a low spec din pc. To use with a small screen and no touch facilities are available!
I am hoping to use a single din dvd player or JVC Exad unit (we all know what unit I mean lol) and that will be connected to the screen, so I am hoping there is a way to connect the PC to the unit.

If any body is wondering I will be using a keyboard and laptop style touch pad (kept in the glovebox) for using the pc, as it wont be in use much, only for long journeys etc!

I am also hoping to use an interface of somesort so that I can control windows media player or similar media players (or frontends if possible) from my headunit instead of using the keyboard/mouse. <-- Is this possible?


Thats it for now! As mentioned, I am really new to all this! So please, be gentle!

Thanks, hope to hear from some you! And hopefully I will be purchasing some items you guys suggest from the shop
