G4 Questions

I'm pretty new to CarPC's but not tinkering with gadgets (made own digital photo frame from laptop, hacked an xbox, tivo etc) but am still a little reluctant to purchase the G4 - will wait and see some of the reviews. I'm planning on selling my OEM navunit from an Audi S4 which will almost cover the cost of the G4.

However, I have some questions that hopefully someone can answer - I've read most of the posts but apologise if these are repeats:

1. I'm assuming the ~4 second boot time is from hibernation - how long from a cold boot roughly and how long til it powers off after hibernation.

2. I'm assuming I also need a wiring harness for my car (2005.5 Audi S4) - any suggestions on where to get one? What else would I need besides that, a dash kit to fill any space possibly?

3. Can I possibly use the GPS antenna that is already in my Audi (current head unit has GPS nav)?

4. Since the SWIX is not supported by my car I need to get the SWI-CAN adapter as well - is that all I then need to get steering wheel control? I saw some mention of a UIRT but am not sure how it all fits togehter? Does it go steering wheel cabling > SWIX > SWI-CAN > Brown wire on G4?

Thanks,
Matt
