Self-install Vehicle PC Systems

If you or your company want to install a vehicle computer system yourself, we can supply a quality automotive PC and a range of accessories from just £389 ex VAT. 

Our PC Hardware page gives details of the various types of vehicle PC that we build.  These are available both as part of our fully installed systems, or separately for customers who wish to install themselves.

What's the difference between this and your fully installed system?

Our fully installed vehicle computer systems (click here for a quote) are aimed at individuals and companies who want a complete in-vehicle computing solution straight out of the box. In addition to the PC itself they include as standard a touch sensitive display, audio integration with the vehicle sound system, Centrafuse front-end software, Anti-Virus software, a wireless keyboard and mouse, dashboard-mounted USB2.0 ports, and all the necessary power, audio, video and data cables required to tie the system together. Crucially, we also install the system into the customer's vehicle(s), either at our workshop in Bristol or via our mobile installation service. Our aim with these systems is to provide the most comprehensive vehicle computer service available.

 
Self-install Vehicle PC 

Our self-install PC units and accessories are aimed at individuals and companies that have a good technical knowledge of vehicle electrics, and prefer to install a system in their car themselves. Our PCs come with bullet-proof warranties that won't be voided by the act of installing them into vehicles, although please note that we cannot accept responsibility for damage to any of your equipment, including your vehicle, caused by the installer not following industry-standard procedures and good practises when working with vehicle electrical systems.    

All our computers are e-marked, which is a legal requirement for aftermarket vehicle equipment, and guarantees that our computers will not interfere with your vehicle's electronics.

As a company that has detailed in-house knowledge of both computers and vehicles, and installs car computers on a regular basis, we are well placed to offer extensive support and advice if you have problems with any of the equipment you buy from us during your installation.
