Car PC Accessories

We can provide a range of accessories to complement our car computers.

Please note that these accessories are normally only available if a PC is purchased at the same time.

AC power supply

An AC power supply is available should the computer need to be used indoors (e.g. for testing or configuration prior to being installed in a vehicle). This terminates in a 6-pin power input plug that connects straight to the PC and includes an on/off toggle switch that simulates the vehicle ignition.

Price: £29.99 ex VAT

Cable Extension Pack

This pack consists of a 5m VGA extension cable, a 5m active USB extension cable and a 5m stereo audio cable terminating in phono plugs. Our displays are normally provided with 2.5 metre cables, but this pack allows the display to be positioned even further away from the PC.
