Yes, but most car audio customers wouldn't know a PC from a cheesegrater. Maybe they would, but Clarion aren't going to let a silly thing like terminology or capability stand between them and extracting all the money they can from the customer. Clarion's not above jumping on a bandwagon, it seems.

This just reinforces how I feel about empeg. Sure the empeg guys want to make money off the empeg car, but at least they aren't trying to market a crappy product for the purpose of sucking in money (or perhaps maybe it's the "first to market" strategy, which almost always hurts the customer IMO).

How can you trust companies like Clarion when they market a piece of [censored] like the AutoPC? It doesn't appear that they give a crap about their customers. Empeg may be "first to market" so to speak but, from what I've read, at least it's not a piece of [censored]. Rather, it appears to be very well designed with the consumer interest in mind (instead of just the companies revenue).

I suppose since I've never owned a Clarion before, my opinions are probably far from accurate. But if it is true that this AutoPC is an expensive gadget made out of crappy parts, I think I've just lost a whole lot of repect for Clarion.

And then, or course, I'm very biased towards the empeg anyway and I don't even own one yet. Oh well.
