anything a PC can do it can do as its a mini pc which is far superior than any in dash dvd unit haha I use it to play mp3's watch movies music videos, wifi access, internet, OBD information, GPS, satellite radio, phone, web cam in the grill to record auto cross and such, it tells me gas prices around me and just about anything else you can think of it will do.
