Carputers.... where can I find them at?


Recommended Posts

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.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

Like you I have been in the market and looking for a Carputer and I found what I was looking for.

Name of the company is Motion Computing

I ended up getting a used Motion Computing LE1600 that at some point I will put in my Vehicle. I picked it up for 125.00 on ebay so keep your eye on them on ebay and you could get a good deal.

The LE1600 is a 12.1 Display and they make a LS800 that is an 8.4" Display

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.
