man, you guys don't realize how EASY it is to put a pc in a car now adays....

there are dc/dc solutions made just for this purpose...

there are screens made to actually fit in the car...

there is usb plug & play....

there is a huge forum dedicated just to this subject, with free frontends & many knowledgable people with tons of examples & tons of support

the list goes on & on...


sure there will be better stuff in the future, but unless you plan on spending a lengthy vacation in some cryogenics storage, you have to live for today with what you have today....

in 1969 I doubt there were anyone saying
"man, how can you guys drive these cars that are out today... they use inferior carb's that rely on a mechanical blockage of air when cold to enrichen the mixture, they use polyglass rienforced tires that squirm under the extreme weight of the vehicle, there is only a mono am radio in the dash, there is no indication of where you are or where your going, & when they do get stuck, there is no way to actually call anyone for help.... I'll wait till there more evolved before I start driving"

it's all relative, but today is a great day to install that pc
