The Project
Version 2 of the CarPC reuses a lot of the components of the original installation. However the goal this time around is integration. The CarPC needs to exist in this car as if it were installed by the manufacturer. All the existing goals and functionality requirements were maintained, that is:
- Music playback
- FM Radio functionality
- GPS navigation
- Digital photo archive/backup when away on trips
See the links above to take you to each of the build worklogs and photos. Further detail is available on my blog, which also covers my newer projects.

and
to share
the photos,
