I recently acquired a car computer and purchased an in dash touch screen from this company http://www.karputer.co.uk and just wanted to let everyone know what a top company they are offering fantastic customer service. I highly recommend them on my experiences.

Anyway, when the screen is installed pictures will follow!

There are various Top in-car Front ends available at the moment. Take a look at Centrafuse, Roadrunner, Frodoplayer, Media engine.

 

Its difficult to recommend a single product as they all have their advantages, however I await with anticipation for the new release of Centrafuse...and I may become an authorised reseller for their Fully commercial licensed version.

 

I stick to the Mini-itx range, for In-car use with onboard video. Fantastic little boards offering more than enough peformance, but very compact, low noise and low power consumption.

 

I do have bluetooth running but thats used to connect my mobile to the PC for dialing and receiving calls through the Carputer. WIth full onscreen display and voice through the sound system.

 

Onboard the PC I use Wifi and GPRS PCMCIA Cards with a permanant sim card installed for Internet access.

Sounds like a good system, i was toying with the idea of something with more powerful graphics etc as the install going in the car was going to incorporate a 32" plasma built into the rear screen.. but damn vibration stops me .. i wish you all the best if you decide to go into retail.. by the way i see its all connected to your amps, are you using a Line driver to compensate for the low voltage output on the soundcard, it'll help you boost the output and have the gains on the amp reduced which will greatly reduce any signal noise
