carPC software?
Not sure what sub forum to put this in, so here it is.

A few people here run carPC's, me included, I've got a couple of them and built a few for friends.

Just wondering if any of you have experience in the "front end" software available, like centrafuse or freeICE??


Are they any good? at the moment i've got a normal windowsXP screen with my favourite icons on it, and a few shortcuts at the bottom of the page (internet, memory map etc) but having a decent screen with locked icons might be better.

Cheers all

I was pondering on a carPC in the TD5 but wondering what screen to use, ideally a touch screen, but I was thinking a keyboard with hot keys but remove the hot keys and put them on a mount on the dash so i can load a browser, memory map etc from the buttons. 1999 Defender TD5 110

I use ICTFree on mine. It's getting old now and no longer developed but TBH there's not really anything I've found that needs adding/fixing.

The free skinning utility for it means you can pretty much do anything you want with it.
