Here's the current plan, until I buy a more permanent CarPC.. Any suggestions are welcome, and lessons learned would be appreciated!

What other basic pieces do I need to look at to tie it all together?
What is the easiest way to incorporate HD Radio into my CarPC setup?
What's a good front-end to start testing with?
You're going to need some way to tie into your audio system, most aftermarket headunits have aux input for this purpose. Not sure what a "Speaker Audio Upgrade - Stage I" is or if it includes this.
HD Radio: HD Radio Cables READY!
As for frontends, I suggest running LinuxICE with NGhost2
So does the Visteon HDZ300 HD Radio Component Car Tuner Kit or a DIRECTED DMHD1000 still look like the best option to incorporate HD Radio into a CarPC setup, or have there been new advances in this area?
Also, can these things be completely controlled by front-end software, or do you still have to mount the ugly little screen somewhere?
