Just stumbled across this, and was wondering if the evolution of tablet computers have pretty much made a car-puter redundant. Thoughts?
About the only think I can think a tablet wouldn't do it reversing camera.

Could be but when I did mine nearly 3 years ago the tablet screens were very poor in sunlight and as I am not into the whole apple music thing, it was a lot easier to copy my cd's and not have to worry about what happened if I changed my base computer.
Don't think they had radio then and Ozi Explorer wasn't available for them.
Guess I will look into again when I change vehicles but I'll stay with what is working for now. :D
On DealExtreme they have Android GPS/tablets that have AV-in, so the reversing camera issue is a non-issue.Quote:

I'm going for the car-puter purely to use the OE screen and it's functionality. If I didn't have that alternative, I'd go for a tablet. (Though if I can't get the RPi to do what I want, I may yet go that way).
Raspberry Pi? Rubbsih.
I like Strawberry jam donuts and Apple Turnovers through.
How do they look on the dash of your Disco?Quote:
