Cost me approx Rs 32k including installation charges of Rs 750. You can get the prices for the individual components directly from
Car PC based Vehicle Infotaiment Systems | iRide Technologies. Mumbai, India (What you see is what you get and pay
). Also, I already had the BT USB dongle + USB Hub + BT GPS with me, so thats not included in the price.

Satish, thanks for answering that. It also acts as a 2GB USB flash drive

The holder with suction cup is a historic relic
.. that will go away and I wont be keeping the phone up there. I need to get a shorter USB cable to connect to my phone which can be placed in the space below the center console. Advantage of connecting the phone is that it charges it as well. Of course, getting a USB modem is a long term solution, subject to budgeting!!.

Yepp.. All managed beautifully by the power supply of the CarPC. It stays up for about 20 odd seconds to allow the CarPC to shut down.

Tell me about it!! Front AuX IN is supposed to be a "Feature" in HU's these days. Unfortunately, mine doesnt have an AUX-in in the rear of the HU.
