Thread: DigitalMod Wishlist...What would YOU build...

I would think the simplest way to use this softaware is via the external application route. But it would be really slick if it were integrated internal to the SD software. This would really go well with my stealth V1 install.

This is a good idea.... I may have to save my pennies, but I haven't found the sdk for the Valentine One. Has anyone else?

I don't know about the SDK, but the components to integreate the V1 with the computer were not that expensive ($50 or so if I remember correctly). I have them, and already bench tested the system with my CarPC setup. Works great.

How about a karaoke plugin support.

Even beter:

Police scanner with preset frequencies for a specific location(city, division) via GPS.

How about a heirarchical music browser. Say you hit the artist button,then select an artist, there could be an option to play all or choose an album. Once you select an album then you could again play all to play all songs in the album or select a specific song. I can partially do then with the directory structure but not all my music is sorted the same way.


Oh, and a sirius module too!

Sorry, but I don't drive with other people in my truck that I really want to hear sing. Maybe if I find Ruben Stoddard hitchhiking, this would be worthwhile to me, but until then, it just seems like another unsafe idea.

Then again, if I had Ruben Stoddard in my truck, I'd shut off the tunes and let him go accapella.

I agree. I made mention of this some time ago.

I can sort ofdo this presently, but only because I have all my music organized by artist\album subdirectories. I can browse for files, but I don't have a way to select an entire album other than selecting each indivudual track.

Gps based car performance data, 0-60mph times, 0-60-0 0-100 etc. Would have thought these wouldnt be too difficult for someone (more clevera than me) to code.


Also it would be nice for the guys over here in europe if we could import the destinator speed camera poi files. I know they can be modified to match the SD layout and be added, but it would sweet if the navigation module could flash some sort of warning when you get within say .5mile or 600yards of the camera

Trip Meter.

Keep track of:
avg speed
moving avg
top speed
stopped time
mpg
$pm
whatever

Allow multiple trips: main one *never* resets, a new trip starts every time the pc starts or you reset trip, etc...

I had the karaoke running on my htpc,carpc through meedio for quite some time until that setup went bye bye. My broad didnt know how to act with that thing. haha
