Default i dont completely agree....

navigation is a definite plus...
my buddy just built this for his WRX,
he has the GPS navigation, bluetooth handsfree, and a wireless router so when he parks in his garage he can download music and/or videos.
this weekend he picked up one of those pc-phones with wireless data, so he can have nternet on the run if need be.
is it needed?, no, does it come in handy?, deffinetly.

Default Re: Carputer question for everyone here.

I redid mine, and it's a PITA. A prefabbed solution would be a plus in my opinion since I know how difficult it is to get it molded now!

Default no

1. You can't match my wood trim
2. Display doesn't hide or match the red interior
3. Needs to run Mac OS X

Everybody's requirements are different...

Default Problem with that install to be plug-n-play would be that is can only replace symphony HU

this is only 99.5 to 2001.5. Anything pre 99.5 would not be a easy task for the concert HU.

So you would only have 2 years of cars that it would be an attractive option for. Not a big market.
