skittlesRgood Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 i searched for them a while back and i didnt find anything too interesting. some companies make very small computers and sell software for running it in a car but, if i remember correctly, they were over $800. you could go on newegg.com and get a mini motherboard and build your own. just remember to get a SSD HD. itll hold up to the bass a lot better.

PUNKYOU007 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Another thing you have to look at is a startup/shutdown modal. With conventional HU they turn them self on and off with the vehicle. Computers dont. You could damage a carputer if you dont use one of these. Of course you could also just wait in the car until it shuts down and when you get back in you would have to go thru the whole boot sequence.
