Mobile internet is becoming popular and appears in many devices, but has not yet penetrated into the automotive industry. One business idea is to place a computer in a vehicle. The computer equipped with interfaces for connection to internet, external storage units and an easy to use graphical interface. This report describes a project developing a concept where a system is built that distributes media from third party content providers on the internet to the embedded unit. The specific task is to solve how it should be possible to do configuration with a few clicks on a desktop computer and then have media available in the vehicle. The report explores what services can be integrated in such system and the outcome is a proof of concept prototype that shows the functionality.
