CarPC: Fully customizable or preprogrammed?

[DriverTech]

Would you guys buy a car pc if it came without any programs installed except an operating system and maybe some navigational software? Basically a fully customizable system where you can install all your own preferred software. Or would you rather have a rigid platform that had everything already installed much like the StreetDeck?

I'm just doing a little market research and would like to know what you guys would prefer.

few basic things to get it going, but allow the person to put on what they want if needed.

for me personally the whole reason for a car pc is for the customization and personalization, otherwise its just a double din or whatever size screen with a large hard drive. Need to be able to personalize change up skins, and wallpaper/backgrounds and change apps to ones you already enjoy using or find appealing.

Are you talking purely software or a whole bundled system, hardware and all?

I'd probably prefer DIY either way, that's how I did mine. I was able to install any hardware I wanted, as well as software.
