MSI Funtoro FunStar ICE system

MSI have announced an in-car entertainment system, the Funtoro FunStar ST100, which they're claiming is the pioneer for all-in-one systems.  Comprising a core processing and distribution unit, together with a 2-DIN DVD player and front display, the BD765, the system can support up to three separate zones each with touchscreen control.

Together, the ST100 and  BD765 offer GPS navigation, Digital TV, gaming and a full audio and video media player.  There's also an external A/V input for hooking up third-party media sources, together with optional extras including a rear-view camera, tire pressure monitoring system and OBDII car information.

Two BM171 touchscreen LCDs can be added to each FunStar ST100, and the system automatically stores the last-used app or last media bookmark and resumes playback when you boot back in.  Best of all, if you get sick of DVDs, gaming, DTV, GPS or even watching the individual pressure in each of your tires, MSI preload the FunStar with Chinese-language flashcards, so you can teach yourself another language when driving!

No word on pricing, but the MSI Funtoro FunStar system appears to be available now.
