Hard drive enclosure in the boot, basically.Trouble with car head units is they'll only recognise FAT32, which limits you to 32GB of storage, along with some other issues. There are ways around this, but the most expedient solution seems to involve HU - Media player - HDD, which kind of seems pointless, may as well plug in my iPhone.
However...
Building an in-car computer sounds like fun.

Yeah, but then you're limited to whatever Merc thinks is acceptable kit.I was thinking about a netbook outputting to a small touchscreen. You can get them about as small as a double-DIN radio enclosure. Wire that all up and you've got GPS, audio, video and full internet capability.

Off the top of my headwould something based on a RasberryPi, with a small touchscreen, running XBMC or similar and a large HDD not fit the bill, and be fairly compact?
(, Thu 16 May 2013, 8:28, Reply)
It would, but the base-spec Pi isn't powerful enough to run XBMC, I've tried.You'd need the more powerful one and then you're into proper money.

I have my Pi running rasbmc on my TV, took about 20mins to set up.Problem may be that it likes to download bug fixes a lot. so you'd have to either park it in wifi range or take it out and bring it in the house every night.
