Touchscreen radio

I was curious if there is a touchscreen radio out there that I can use for a car PC as well. Anyone have some ideas?
 


That looks cool, however a few problems. One, there is no price. Two, it runs Vista. Vista + powertuner = no so good.

Ohh, a little google searching led me to the price tag. They can stick that $2K+ pricetag where the sun dont shine. I have a perfectly good laptop with a broken screen or a small cased P3 desktop that will fit under the passanger seat that will be used as a car PC. The only thing limiting me is the screen.

There was/is a guy on the Powertuner forums, and on clubgp that did a pc set up in his car with a touchscreen set up I believe. His screen name is JEFFSGTP. Not sure if he is on here or not. But I have spoken with him a couple times, super nice guy and full of great information.

He has got me going in the right direction as one of the things I would 'like' to do with the car is put a computer in there for full time scanning ability.
 
all of the touchscreen radios I have seen (preproduction prototypes) had issues with light effecting sensitivity, most of the engineers say it has to do with packaging since the stand alone monitors don't have as bad an issue

AVIC-D3 doesn't have any issues like that. Been playing with the one in my buddy's Mazda 6 and have been trying not to buy one... :th_shakinghead2:

are you talking about the avh-p4000dvd and its bigger brother the 6000? Those are cool but the only complaint I have is that the screens are setup wierd and seem outdated, but who cares for the price under 500 for a double din.
 
the avic is selling like mad, and my supplier can't keep me in stock, Ihaven't ordered the 4000 or 6000 yet as I have not needed a double din here (I stock very little right now and order when needed as I get it in a couple of hours)
 
oh okay, the avic is what you were talking about. I am still holding out for the avic-f, that is why I sold the d3.
 


You should look into the company Liliput. I know a lot of people use them for carputers with the touch screens and I believe they have a 7" screen that is just about the right size for a double din opening. I think it takes a little custom fitting but I've heard they work well. (It still requires its own computer for functionality)
