Nice set-up. Can you make the font size on the descriptions larger so my blind self can read the. How are you going to mount the antennas in the brake light?

Interesting. What software are you running, and on the monitor, are you just running 'video' out or are you using an adaptor?
Thanks
Chris

I increased the text size... sorry about that!

The system runs on XP Pro Media Edition, but I mainly use FrodoPlayer as the front end. iGuidance for Navigation.

The monitor is connected to the computer by a standard VGA cable and a USB for the touchscreen. It also has 2 more RCA inputs for other devices.

Very, very nice. Has this been on slashdot yet?

Could you provide a few more details on the touch screen - is it built into the monitor?

Hope that you and yours are safe from the hurricane,

slashdot dot org - "News For Nerds. Stuff That Matters." They occasionally have threads on puters in cars, along with too much other stuff to describe. Be aware that most people reading it have a slight bias towards Unix... )
