Been looking into this more now and I've figured out for a decent tablet I'm looking at just over £350, then I'm going to want 3G.
Also from talking to ash he was on about a car pc. So I've been looking priced it all up. I can have The pc up and running for around £250-300. The of is a much better idea as i can download software to organise it like a stereo. I also have externals such as odb2 reader/bluetooth. USB bus so I can connect 3G dongle, wireless keyboard and mouse, iPhone connection and more.
I will customise a 7" touch screen into my centre console which will also come with a reversing camera with automatic change over.
I will build my own pc. Which will be a mini itx intel 1155 processor or intel atom not sure yet. A mini power supply connected straight to battery.
For sound I will either buy a couple amps and connect them straight to the pc for best sound output. Or relocate my stereo to my coin tray and have it connected via aux or is possible USB.
My first few jobs will be to buy a plastic welder and a few centre consoles from the scrap hard. Design my console thinking join the middle and bottom remove the clock. Place the screen between the 2 sections and move my dials up to where the stereo is.
Please let me know what you guys think. And all input is welcome.
