Hey Guys I was wondering if anyone had experience with putting a PC in a car. I'm very PC knowledgable but not so much for in a car. I was thinking about doing this in my 94. Anyone know anything about price/ simplicity and what not? Thanks

I have seen a couple people do them, not sure why though. What are you wanting to get out of it?

ive seen some stuff for it. apparently you can re-route your PCM to the PC and control all of the engine parameters from inside the car with it. like if youre changing octane or adding race fuel you can press a button and the timing is changed. seems pretty cool to me...

well, maybe its not the pcm. but whatever the comp in the engine bay is that controls your engine parameters... PCM (paramter control module) ???

to start your car you will end up touching both bumpers and the antenna, the car will then as "are you sure?". The same sequence is used to turn it off..

Racing down the 1/4 mile and crashing for no reason would also be kind of scary!

Talk to Ford engineers. They have SYNC already installed, what do you think is next? [&:]

I have heard not been hearing rave reviews about it, and they did design the self destructing 6 disc changer......
