Thread: Radio NO Car HU

Ok so I have been reading for the last few days and asking hear and there. I have just about all I need for my new car puter running in my BMW 330i. I am currently driving (passenger) down the highway testing internet via a cell phone, works great. I have everything I need, gps, cell phone (blue tooth for calls), internet (cell phone), but I need to concentrate on the radio portion.

I want to remove my entire Head Unit and use a FM turner card in the pc to receive radio via the computer. What card is everyone using to do this and what application? I have only found people using HU->PC->Amp type of setups which is still relying on the old HU.

My system will look just like this in mycar;

Where the lcd is on top and my ac controls are down below and no room for a HU. I currently have the harmon Karmon system in my car where I can control the radio funstions via a steering wheel and I know that I would use a I-BUS adapter to connect the car to the PC so I think I have this covered.

How would you hook up the inbound antenna too? I am sure others are running this type of setup.
