Guys, looking to get some feedback on my setup. I'm running a mini-itx computer in my CL for playing mp3's, XM Satellite Radio and DVD's mainly. Other features include Internet, handsfree cell phone system, ODBII diagnostics...and more! Check it out here
My Setup....
CAR: -03 Acura CL-S 6 speed w/stock navigation
PC: -MAPower VIA Mini-Itx M1000, 256MB PC2100, 60 GB 2.5" HD, built-in DC-DC Power Supply,
-802.11b wireless usb adapter.
-Targus USB 2.0, Slim-external DVD-ROM
-ATI Remote Wonder (only means of controlling pc)
-XM Direct w/hacked serial cable
VIDEO: -Vsokolov's Navi+ (a plug'n'play video conversion device allowing me to display the TV-out of my M1000 onto the stock Navi screen while keeping the stock Navi functions using a toggle switch (seen in pics on above site) to switch back and forth from PC video to Stock Navi/HVAC video). This unit is unique in that it comes with acura oem connectors so that I didn't have to hack up the stock navi wires therefore keeping my warranty valid
AUDIO: -Blitzsafe Adapter into stock HU
-12" Kicker Comp w/MRD300 Alpine
-Stock Bose System
SOFTWARE: MediaEngine Beta, FrodoSatRadio, WinDVD 6.0, Girder.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with how everything is functioning. Only thing is kinda limiting is that I only have the ATI Remote for an input device. I would love to figure out how to utilize the stock Navi's touchscreen but can't find any info on it. Anyway, what you guys think?
If anyone has any specific questions about the software or anything check out

That's real nice, I saw it over at www.mp3car.com. I'm looking to set mine up this spring/summer.
Yeah, for anyone thinking about doing this. I say DEFINITELY go for it cause pretty much, you can do anything with a PC in your car. And the sound quality/video is excellent, if you sent it up right
Thanks for the compliments guys.
