Product Overview
In-CarPC’s J81.180 vehicle PC is powered by an efficient dual-core Intel Atom processor running at 1.80 GHz, and features USB 3.0 connectivity plus a wealth of extra port options which, in many cases, do not require an upgrade to a larger chassis. The PC is compatible with both 12V and 24V* vehicles, turns on and off automatically with the vehicle ignition, and does not reboot when the vehicle's engine is cranked during starting. The J81.180 has been awarded “e-mark” certification, making it fully approved for in-vehicle use, and carries a 2-year warranty as standard.

Chassis Options
All models are available in one of three chassis:
- ICPC-1 chassis - This is our most compact chassis, capable of being installed in a variety of locations within almost any vehicle. While not supporting any PCI cards, the ICPC-1 chassis does allow internal Mini PCI or Mini PCI Express cards to be used.
- ICPC-3 chassis - The ICPC-3 chassis is only slightly larger than the ICPC-1 chassis, and offers additional RS-232 or SMA antenna ports, a low-profile PCI slot, and supports an externally accessible SIM card slot for the internal 3G module.
- ICPC-4 chassis - Although the ICPC-4 chassis is our largest it is still very compact, and supports up to 2 full-size PCI slots, plus an internal optical drive or removable hard drive module.
