When someone posts something of interest they'll subscribe to the thread so they get notified when the thread is updated - it makes it easy to track threads you're following without having to search them everytime.

Subbed is the common response, but there are variations.

What do you plan to do with the CarPC, and subbed.

The CarPC is just a fun project. Also it replaces my dead factory headunit/climate control unit. I don't plan on using navigation right now since I have it via the factory navigation unit. I will be adding an OBDII device soon!

It's working well. Only pieces left are:
  • Powering the rear windshield antenna.
  • Getting a microphone so I can use the bluetooth-phone feature.

I have some videos I have to put together and I'll take some pictures. But unfortunately, I'm on vacation in the Bahamas right now.
