That 4.5" screen should make it real easy to get directions too

especially when it falls off the passenger seat

Doesn't look like it fits very well. I guess at least it works.

PSP has some potential. They are making a Nyko is making a TV connector cable for the PSP, we can possibly plug it in through an RCA-in or something for the speakers. Navi on PSP concept is the same, you could use a small laptop for a GPS too

Get a Sprint or a Verizon selected phone .... if you have them already a cheaper alternative for GPS.... They have a built in GPS on the phone...... suscription is an additional $10 / month...

I was thinking if there was some way to install the PSP into the dash w/o it lookin like crap (above picture). It would be cool to watch movies and play MP3s with this as long as you could plug it into the cars speakers.

I think the PSP fits right into one of the compartments we got in the TSX, the compartment above the NOT AN ASHTRAY compartment. Open it and put your PSP in it. It fits well, assuming we can velcro it on or something so it won't move.

PSP is still a better alternative. The screen is larger. Most likely free (minus the software+hardware). In my city, they are putting up broadband wireless citywide. Soemthing like 5 repeaters every 5 lamp posts so the PSP would be invaluable. Can surf the net on it and do VOiP (near future) and video conferencing all in one.

The PSP is a good convergence piece of electronics.
