midiwall, how's the reception? I am planning to rig its built-in antenna with car's external one.

I'm still at my desk, on my work PC, which is in a cubical about 20 feet from the nearest window. That said, I can pick up the local FM stations that I'd care about with the antenna set 90* from the case, but fully retracted. I'd say that's pretty impressive.

I'm expecting that the car will be "fine" with the attached antenna, but my mounting point will be pretty close to the outside world:
I may hack it into the main antenna, it would certainly help of course. I'll have to see how it goes!
