if i wanted to install a computer, would navi work as touch screen?

Hey guys,

I have an old computer laying around, that is pretty decent in speed. I don't use it anymore though.

I could probally make a custom case for it to reduce the size, and install a nice size harddrive so that i could put in movies, music, and whatever else you can image.

How would i be able to hook this up to the navi monitor? I probally would need the AUX converter, (dom is it??)

also, if i Do do this, a have a mouse would be very inconvenient...how could i enable windows to work along with the touch screen?

thanks,

-mike

ps. i have a 2005 TSX w. navi

I don't think it's been done before. Doesn't mean it can't be done.

i dont think so because i dont know if you've ever seen those addon's for LCD's to add touch screen capability but it has some sort of serial connection(USB) to interface it with the machine.. i would assume you would need a similar type of connection for the 7" touchscreen of the NAV to interface with the PC.. or else theres nothing to tell the PC how to use the touchscreen..
