Damn, for only $900, I could switch out the carputer for it, and use the carputer in the garage...
You can add a GPS antenna module to your PC.
Then use a Map software that supports GPS, and you too can have a GPS nav along with custom interface softwares for all your multimedias.
I like how the nav looks. However, I still think a carputer is more powerful.

the problem is that the common mentality of thieves is smash and grab first, think later.... also, I'm sure the eclipse warranty wouldn't cover the replacement of my torn up dash and broken door lock/window.
awesome setup though.... pimp status.
