In-CarPC’s CQ30 series of fanless in-vehicle PCs offer outstanding functionality and performance in an extremely compact form factor. The CQ30 series features a range of processors from Intel Celeron to Core i7, up to 8 GB RAM, plus numerous built-in options including cellular, GPS and GPIO. Support for dual removable hard drives / SSDs, quad GbE LAN ports and dual cellular modems (with failover, load balancing and channel bonding options) make the CQ30 series ideal for applications involving bulk data capture and transmission (e.g. video capture and streaming) and/or where the reliability of cellular data connectivity is paramount.
The fanless nature of the CQ30 series makes it suitable for extremely dusty environments, and the device's ruggedness is demonstrated by multiple MIL-STD-810F tests. The CQ30 series has been awarded E-mark certification, making it fully approved for in-vehicle use, and carries a 2-year warranty as standard.

Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional FES*
Other operating systems, including Windows Embedded options, are available upon request.
*Windows 7 Professional For Embedded Systems (FES) is technically identical to Windows 7 Professional, but with different licensing terms. Windows 7 Professional FES will be available until Q3 2024.
Removable mounting flanges supplied
MIL-STD-810F (with SSD)
EN50155 compliant
Passive cooling (fanless)
Width: 250* mm
Depth: 150 mm
Height: 55* mm
*The above figures are without mounting flanges at base. With mounting flanges, width increases to 270 mm and height increases to 62 mm.
1.8 kg (base specification)
Operating Temperature: -40°C to +70°C
Storage Temperature: -40°C to +80°C
The above temperature ranges are at base specification and with extended temperature RAM & SSD. Using standard RAM results in an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Using a standard SSD results in an operating temperature range of 0°C to +55°C. Some optional features also restrict the unit's operating temperature range - for the operating temperature range of a specific configuration please contact us.
In common with all passively cooled (fanless) computers, the PC should be installed in a location that allows cooling air to flow freely over the chassis fins.
Optional Factory Recovery Solution for easy recovery to factory settings using F11 key at start-up:
Extendable to 3 or 5 years if required. Click here for more information.
Q3 2019
This is the earliest date at which we expect to stop producing new units of this PC model. However, the warranty for each PC will remain in place regardless of whether the EoL date has passed, and will continue for the duration of the original warranty period.

Model numbers for the CQ30 series follow this format:
CQ3[CPU code]-[RAM code]-[Drive code]-[Optional model codes]
Commonly ordered values for each section of the model number are as follows:
CPU Code
RAM Code
Amount of RAM in GB
Drive Code
Value in GB of drive capacity with the following suffixes:
Systems with dual internal drives are denoted by X/Y where X = code for primary drive and Y = code for secondary drive.
Optional Model Codes
See Specifications section above for model codes. Where multiple optional codes are present they are simply listed one after the other without any spacing (e.g. "U06W10" in this section indicates the presence of both 4G (with GPS) and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules).
