And 409 rwhp in a car that light is pretty cool...even if it costs you 30 grand!

and i hope my project comes out as nice as yours!

"Vette - it's what's for dinner." Actually I think I'll find it more entertaining to hand a Viper driver his a$$! I wasn't taking offense to your comments and I'm glad to hear you've encountered one of these first-hand. They're crazy little cars and the best part is nobody suspects them!

And thanks for another compliment.

You rock Frodo!

Everytime I fired up the carputer, I would switch past the Mp3s and go straight for XM. So that's the way I set the car up - to load your XM app on start-up. That way it automatically starts XM up and all is good in the world. Now, if that little issue of the station returning to Preview on boot-up was resolved, the app would be perfect.

From post 10

"That start button REQUIRES A RESISTOR! I fried one before I realized that - [I assumed it was already handled internally]. D'oh! I can't remember the value - I think it was 1.2k Ohm - just enough to drop 5V from the PSU to roughly 2.2 Volts. The buttons are available here in different colors. And I DID get that idea from someone else on the forum."

Thank you. Love this, "A man who takes good care of his car, is a man who takes good care of himself" !!!

There's a chance I can offer the monitor installation solution as a bolt in solution... work in progress... already found my machinist...

Hey, that looks SWEET! You did a very nice job!

I'd love to see a better picture of your LCD mounting. The one's you've posted don't have enough contrast -- you might need to turn off the screen to take the picture.
