Thread: Car computer?

This truck was his actual office. he wanted everything to look as if it was meant to be that way. We installed a windows pc computer with a wireless mouse and a wireless keyboard. He also provided us with a wireless card. So he gets internet in his truck anywhere he goes. the screen is a 10" touch screen specifically for his windows pc computer. Right below is the CD/DVD drive slot.
Client didn't want to change the factory stereo so we relocated it.

lol wow...

If you know.. how is the reception function of those wireless cards for anywhere internet??

perfect work

believe it or not not bad at all. we also you satellite dishs as well so as long as you have a clear line of sight to the sky you'll have internet.

My wireless card works anywhere my cell phone works. ( uses the same network )

yep and most of the time you can take that same wireless card and plug it right into the car computer and when you need it for the laptop just easily unplug it!

I have a computer in my LS. the laptop is hidden on the back of the rear seat (docking station) and the 7" display mounted on the dash. I use wifi to connect to the home network (for updating my music, ...etc) and use a usb cell card to connect to the internet when I driving. it can do the gps/maps, internet, napster, pandora,...etc. it has a dvd player, ....etc. I do not have a touch screen but use a wireless mouse controller - similar to a presentation tool.

Here's an idea you can look at. 10" Screen can fit in a LS.

That's awesome... I'm looking at setting up something like this...

Car Computers are awesome. I custom installed one in my Mazda back in the day. Too many problems after a year so I had to take it out
