One idea is to have a "non-hard drive" based computer that runs standalone Windows XP from a Bootable USB drive that runs the music player of your choice using plugins.
Your MP3's are stored on another USB drive that can be removed for editing.
This all ties into your sound system (amp subs/speakers).
No hard drive means nothing will crash (nearly). A touch screen display is really the only other peice of equipment needed that can be custom mounted in your dash as you say.
Look up BartPE and Sherpya. These two guys found a way to run the full GUI of Windows XP on a USB drive (under 600 Mb).
A shuttle style computer is all you need for the computer.

Same thing pretty much. A carputer is just a pc in a car. What you are thinking of doing is very feasible. A great forum for researching your project

One has 8 letters, and one has 2. PC is personal computer. There is no place to safely put a computer in a car that would do what you want. You need to be paying attention to your driving, not playing games or typing essays.

I agree. You need to keep your eyes on the road at all times while driving a car.
