That would be OK in a WAV but not practical in a saloon cab

It uses a dongle or the car aerial, I think waiting on them to contact me with more details and prices

i doubt the car-pc will do little more than play dvds on the move, cant see a dongle doing any good actually moving PLUS, its illegal to have a screen the driver can see whilst moving forward, just be careful

ive a 15" roof mounted screen coupled to an indash dvd player with its own screen, it can play MP3s, DVDs and karaoke discs, but i dim the front screen down on the move

I know its illegal so Its wired to the handbrake, so when you let it off only the sat nav is visible or any media information or the radio channels

Good idea the karaoke discs though

it has its moments

you could fit head rest monitors fed from it if it wil play karaoke CDs or DVDs, just check what file format it will play
