i'd like to see more fabrication and installation supplies, battery clamps, 4AWG and/or 8AWG power/ground cables, rca audio cables (mini jack to rca, etc.)
Specifically, I'd like to see this:
http://www.opussolutions.com/index.php?p=product&id=33
I think this community would benefit from the capability to easily swap from an existing desktop to something reliable and designed for in-car use, especially for noobs to the sport. It's also got a powerful enough PSU for 3.5" hard drives and other desktop components (power hungry processors, etc.) so those not looking to go with a mini-itx, etc set-up have another option.
As well as more of their products, like the 250/320 PSU?
Also, maybe some more wired/wireless keyboards and mice that are designed for portability, ie: thinkoutside's bluetooth folding keyboard, (or similar) and smaller wireless a/v remotes. The lola (http://store.mp3car.com/Lola_RF_Remote_p/com-006.htm) is just too darn big.
other than that, keep up the great work!

How about the 250 Watt OPUS supply?
Phidget boards and sensors?
How about your HD radio?
HDTV/ATSC tv card?
More car hacking books?
PhoneControl .Net?
I will think of more later.

The HD radio is coming, we can't put it on the store yet if it's not out yet...
Car hacking books...if you're referring to CarPC hacking books, there are only like 2 on the market, aren't there? Do you have other car hacking books in mind?

Please post on the forums! Chances are, someone else has or will have the same questions as you!
There are two car pc books that I know of:The HD radio is coming, we can't put it on the store yet if it's not out yet...

The O'Reilly book you carry and the "Build your Own Car PC from McGraw-Hill which isn't the best.
However there are car hack books like "50 Awesome Auto Projects for the Evil Genius" which has some good entries like "bulb out" indicators that I have modified to work with the phidgets set up I have.
Other books like "Car Hacks and Mods for Dummies" I have read yet and do not know their quality.

Yeah, I can't wait to see your HD radio and its spec. I have not gone with the Dice radio and BMW bus adapter route yet because of complexity. The complexity arises from having to go through two interfaces to do something. If they could monitor the I2C bus to figure out the commands add an adapter there, it would be more attractive to me.The HD radio is coming, we can't put it on the store yet if it's not out yet...

Another book is:
Geek My Ride from Addison-Wesley (?) (decent book)
Some other things that the store could see is:
More and better GPS modules
OBD II Books
USB to DAC sound cards/bricks/blocks/thingys
Road_Dog
High Definition Radio (HD-Radio) via USB.
Will that work on carpc's!?
I think you guys should carry the MadCatz PS3 Keyboard..... It got horriable reviews for the PS3, due to its mounting on the top of the controller, but for a CarPC application it assume.... Im actually going to run to my local store and buy one. It is technically a miniture USB keyboard, so yes it will work with a PC, the PC should install it as a USB keyboard.
