In theory it could work but it defeats the purpose of linux in the car.

If you are interested in running the fusion software, give it a shot. Let us know how it goes. I believe the only gotcha will be mapping the linux serial device to a com port, but WINE offers a tool which should handle that.

The fusion brain is not a serial device....not possible to interface with it from wine.
