i have a 08 scion tc and i wan't to replace the factory double din unit with  https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Brix-Ultra-Compact-Windows/dp/B01KKRIEBO/ref=sr_1_24?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1489252675&sr=1-24&keywords=mini+pc and this https://www.amazon.com/SunFounder-Monitor-1280-800-Display-Raspberry/dp/B01J52TWD4/ref=sr_1_8?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1489252782&sr=1-8&keywords=mini+monitor  haven't found much help with such a mod to my vehicle. full blown windows 10 computer for a head unit. its a much cheaper option really than the pioneer head units and i gain a lot of functionality. i also have a hotspot and such for this.

negative on the ipad want to update the pc when it gets old and keep the screen. plus the tablets will change size which means my cutout could eventually be too big or i would need to cut more

Gotcha.

If you're a DIY modder kinda guy, have you considered mating a cheap raspberry pi touchscreen (link) with something other than a pi? You'd need to fabricate your own dash plastics to make it look nice, but it would give you the ability to have a touchscreen, a small PC, and upgradability.

not really worried about price do they have a better resolution of that screen?

I'm sure you can find something more hi-res. Some quick amazon scouring got me this 1920x1080(60Hz) screen that I'm sure you could remove from the housing and hook up to like an intel compute stick or something.

you'll want to make it look decent - on my last car (a Jetta) I used a combo of dash kits that I Frankensteined together with epoxy, a dremmel and paint to fit a non-standard head unit.
