I am working on setting up a car entertainment center I have looked on the several ideas out there.

&nbsp;

This is the basic idea:

&nbsp;

Have two touch displays using a Rasberry Pi solution that is hooked to a server in trunk over ethernet.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

I have used Plex before and when I started looking into using a thin client I found Rasplex my question is can Rasplex use touch screens displays?

&nbsp;

Thanks

Think I might stick with remotes thin client is the better choice for performance.

Another idea is to continue as you had planned except to use a phone or other mobile device for you to select content.&nbsp; You can then use Plex on a phone to "cast" the content to the screens.&nbsp; But then you don't really need the Pis - just hook the screens up to the server in the trunk and run PHT on the server. &nbsp;The downside is that the phone will have to be connected to the server but you can solve this by creating a network in your Car - a CAN (Car Area Network).

I am doing something similar - see this thread: &nbsp;[https://forums.plex.tv/topic/126252-what-to-use-as-plex-server-in-a-car/](https://forums.plex.tv/topic/126252-what-to-use-as-plex-server-in-a-car/)
