It going to be a made from scratch computer which is linked to a 7" touchscreen. DVD, GPS, MP3, Phone control, Wifi the lot. Me and neo do ICT A Level so its natural to put a computer in our cars

There are power supplys that are made to power car PCs. OPUS range, have a google . Or an inverter.

Headunitless is what we are aiming for.
