Carputer is a term sometimes used to refer to a computer installed in a car. Carputer enthusiasts are the hobbyists that enjoy the challenge of installing a desktop (or similar grade) computer into their automobiles. They find enjoyment integrating the computer's hardware with the vehicle's native on-board systems. Carputer enthusiasts are the hobbyist class of the commercial telematics industry.
Basic features:
Play music from CDs, harddrive (MP3s, other compressed files) or external device (USB/PCI FM radio receiver, etc)
Play video from DVDs, VCDs or from the harddrive
GPS: Provide location tracking, route planning/navigation, etc.
Intermediate features:
Display video from car mounted camera for backing up. (infrared cameras are available for backing up at night)
Record video from a webcam/mini-dv camera and store it to the carputer for later perusal. (good for recording close calls on the freeway - setup a rolling buffer which stores the last X minutes on button press)
Connect with your cars OBD-II interface and display real-time data on all diagnostic information available. (RPM/Temps/Speedo/etc.) Pull error codes immediately. Never wonder what a check-engine light is for again.
Wardriving: Using your 802.11b or g wireless connection and GPS, locate and log locations of wireless routers.
Play video games: Run an emulator and have every Atari game. Alternately include actual gaming system in the car.
Download traffic/weather information from internet. (use home WIFI or ??)
Connect to a mobile phone or other device using Bluetooth (useful for voice and data comms and synchronizing with PDA's, etc.)
Advanced features:
Process video from car in real-time using image recognition software. Capture license plates and store in database with GPS location.
Using your GPS receiver, store logs of locations vs speed and time of day. This could be uploaded to a collaborative site for predicting travel times vs time of day. (very useful in areas where freeway congestion is variable)







Pics are from a Norwegian Carputer build shown byCarputer.no. The car is a Mondeo.
(OK, I just happen to be moderating the forum there and I am a Carputer builder on hobby basis.)

No, there is a bit more to it than that mate.
There is a whole lot of wiering needed.

A laptop might have been easier to plug in but a lot harder to uild in to the dash board of the car.
Actually, it's quite asy to use the lap top as a "Carputer".
All you need is a 7" or 8" screen with touch screen, on a stand by the dash board, wires to the boot and there you go; Carputer lite!
