So who has car pc? What is it like? operating system? trying to figure out if it's anything I want.
CAR PC - 6G Celicas Forums
I think car pc are becoming a thing of the past. With the advent of the iPads. People are mounting iPads to their cars and using thems as car pc.
Android tablets make a better CarPC then Ipads, they fit better, I don't know many cars that have openings large enough for a 10" screen. The Celica doesn't thats for sure or I would have used a 10" android tablet 
a CarPC utilizing Mac OSX Linux or Windows 7 would be far superior to either the Android or IOS, as it would have much more expand-ability and more platform skins for the environment.

The feature is called mirrorlink, and it basically connects your phone with a remote screen and allows you to control the phone on there. So its like you installed an android tablet into your dash w/o actually having done so.
I'm sure gonna buy it

your looking at a retail price of 550 according to crutchfield
Sony-XAV-601BT
unless there a cheaper unit with the same mirror link "feature" IMHO not worth it. its pretty cool though. if it was around the 300 dollar price range then i might consider this unit.

it's like an android tablet if you wanted it to be, but still has the radio tuner.... that's the win for me. Wanted that radio tuner. But I'll prolly wait a few months for the price to drop.

acer iconia tab was $189, not expensive at all, the tegra 2 dual core is quite powerful using android ics os, and the mounting i chose looks factory. but a car pc definitely has more expand-ability upgrade-ability and power. one day i will probably install an actual pc but the android tablet does it for me just wish i piceked one with usb host connectivity.
