A car PC or carputer is a car tricked-out with electronics for
playing radio, music and DVD movies, connecting to the Internet,
navigating and tracking with satellite, taking photos, and any
electronic gadget a person wants in a car. All these devices are
managed and controlled through a single screen or interface. The
only place car PC enthusiasts can go for advice, tips and tools is
a handful of hard-to-find Web sites--until now. "Car PC Hacks" is
your guide into the car PC revolution.
Packing MP3 players, handheld devices, computers and
video-on-demand systems gives you a pile too heavy to carry. But
add a car and put them together, you've got a powerful and mobile
multimedia center requiring no lifting. The next time you give kids
a lift, you won't hear, "Are we there yet?" Instead, expect "We're
there already?" as they won't want to leave the car while playing
video games from multiple consoles.
"Car PC Hacks" is the first book available to introduce and
entrench you into this hot new market. You can count on the book
because it hails from O'Reilly, a trusted resource for technical
books. Expect innovation, useful tools, and fun experiments that
you've come to expect from O'Reilly's Hacks Series.
Maybe you've hacked computers and gadgets, and now you're ready
to take it to your car. If hacking is new and you would like to mix
cars and computers, this book gets you started with its
introduction to the basics of car electrical systems. Even when
you're unclear on the difference between amps and watts, expect a
clear explanation along with real-life examples to get on track.
Whether you're venturing into car PC for the first time or an
experienced hobbyist, hop in the bookfor a joy ride.
