Cheers!

Thanks. I used to use his skin but there's not a Media Engine version. There's one for Media Car but I ME has more features. Feb has a skin for FP but it's not for 800x600 "stretched"

How did you get the icons to look like that?

Registry entries. They are 128x128. Let me know if you want the .reg file.

Yes I did have a monsoon system. I got rid of the HU and Monsoon "amp" (it's really just a crossover). I replaced them with a 4 channel amp. The speakers are aftermarket components as well.

Here's a pic of the carputer, amp, and soldered leads fo the speaker leads on the monsoon harness.
