Yup. I'm looking at the Xenarc MDT X7000 as a display, poked around in it and see that the onboard AM/FM Tuner screen looks to me like it was designed by a 1960 Nasa Engeneer (straight text in colums) bleh
.
Just wondered what my XM was gonna look like.
Would hate to go through all this trouble putting in a system and then be ****ed every time I switched to half my screens functions.
Dont think I'll be using FM that often, and hopefully not the CD either, so the fact that they are native to the head unit and poorly screened may not be a problem, but will be on XM and digital media off the HD a lot, so that has to look good.
Not asking for much
. . . just want 7" motorized (good) display that ties in AM/FM, XM, DigitalMusic, NAV, Bluetooth and Web browsing. . .now is that too much to ask
So far hovering around either a C7 or PentiumM driving that Xenarc with XM,Bluetooth and WiFi on the USB and RR or possibly Streetdeck. Hopefully WinXP, IGuidance Nav and enough graphic proscessing power to run 3d type screen savers and little apps when the car is parked at a show without them looking like a slideshow.
Concerns at this point : Has to be single din, HD has to be rough enough to endure my suspension (C5 Corvette, not a racecar but not soft either), bulletproof power (so one of those Opus PS I guess) and it has to look good
.
Its all going into the stock speakers (Bose with amps on them) so I'm not nutz about perfect tuned audio (I'm half deaf anyway from work).
Open to any suggestions.
