  • The computer sits in a compartment behind the 350Z’s two seats.

  • Perhaps this in-car computer will give that annoying backseat driver something else to complain about. This photo was taken at the 2005 Funkmaster Flex Celebrity Car Show in Atlantic City, NJ.

  • A Peugeot 307 XSi running Windows XP Professional.

  • Another Nissan 350Z with an in-dash PC.

  • This 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse has a Pentium III 800 running Windows XP and in-dash touch screen.

  • The 2001 Eclipse’s main menu

  • This 2001 Eclipse also has an infrared camera mounted in the headliner.

  • This fake panel hides the 2001 Eclipse’s in-dash display.

  • The driver of this Toyota 4Runner can Google on the go.
