We have just released a demo of our new carputer software
We have been working on a stable software interface for a carputer for over three years. We have been supplying Limosine companies and custom install shops our systems for the last year. We have had a lot of intrest in our software so we release a demo this week to see if anyone thought it was any good.
You can download a copy here.
I love our software but then again I'm bias. I am really want to see what other people think of it.
If you find a bug post it on the forum and(if possible) we will fix it.

Found carputers.org
Well, I found CarPuters.org... This means I'll need to sort my carputer out after a couple of years of inactivity. The first incarnation (pun not intended) was LIMP - see here for further information.
Having found that the BMW 3 series that I've just bought has a fair amount of dash space, I'm now on a quest to actually install my touch screen... Watch this space :D
