Thanks.

I'm looking at the TV/FM code right now. So I need some example code or apps. I'm going to check out DirectShowNet tonight.

Also I'm trying to get the guys at SCT tuner to open up their API for interfacing with OBDII. I'd rather not have to buy another OBDII reader if I already have one.

Features:

The config will all be in an XML file. Already have to code to read this.
Things like:
button names and functions
launch windows (used to launch misc apps by selecting a file to use and the app to launch it - primarily will be used to launch emulator games)
radio stations/names
gauge configurations

Phidget encoder to control volume/select stuff in the interface. This was pretty EZ to set up.

WMP integration. Manage the media library in WMP and not have to mess with it in the front end. Use existing visualizations. Also less code to write.

Nothing yet. I'm trying to get the techs at SCT to open up the API to their X-Calibrator.

If I'm unable to do that I'll just have to go ODBPro/ELM. Might wait it out a bit.
