i came across a couple threads describing the installation of a CarPC based on instructions from mp3car.com..
being a techie, the idea surely was appealing, but seemed like too much of a hassle to get it right:S

just moments ago in my search for alternatives, i came across the Infill G4 Car PC system..

a Car PC that runs on 1.5GHz processor, 512MB RAM, 40GB HDD, 6.5 inch touch screen, 5.1 channel HD audio output, SiRF Star III GPS module and natively runs Windows XP.

judging by the pictures on the korean site, it has a Radio Tuner, TV Tuner, DVD Player, can be hooked to rear view cameras and more!!

i'm so psyched about this.. now i'm just trying to get more info and see how to get my hands on one!

 

Keep me updated on this. I think this would work better for me than the Panasonic 6503 I was considering. I already have enough extra parts to upgrade this thing beyond belief (160GB HDD, 2GB stick DDR2, various peripherals and a ****load of software).

 

It ain't cheap. According to this site, it is about $2000

well, the Pioneer AVIC is in that price range, not to mention my Garmin StreetPilot 2820 cost me $1500 alone..
not saying $2000 is pocket change, but for what the INFILL does, i think it's worth it.

i'm still to see a full review first though, but i'm pretty sold on the idea

 

Hey GI! Me love you long time!

What can I get for 5 dollars?

i guess nobody else finds this as interesting as i do...

 

So, does this thing run like a normal PC? Can i put music and movies on its HDD and play them with itunes for example?

 

I'm starting my project using Mac Mini...I'll keep you posted.

 

Anyone seen one of these sold on an english site? Not saying anything bad about it being in another language I just prefer to buy from a site I can read. German, Spanish or English....don't know any Korean.

I like the idea of the PC onboard to manage the music and GPS. Any other systems out there as well?

 

here ya go

 

Very interested in this also. Keep up informed.

 

Actually I wanted an english site not an engrish site.

 

Any progress on the Mac Mini project? I'm interested in that, too.

 

here you go, in english, available on US site.

I would like to buy a G4. Are they in production? Where can I buy one in the US?

Thanks.

Mark

 

Perfect!! Thanks so much for the help.

 

mp3car.com only has the older T3 model..
i'm still to find the G4 anywhere, and in any case, i'm steering clear from this company
4 months and over 12 emails.. not a single response :S

 

That is not he type of customer service I like....

I will research it a little more then. Thanks for the tip G.T on the poor customer service.

 

Time to bring back this old thread.

Does anyone have an update on the G4? Has anyone seen one for sale?
