Point. I'm getting too fancy in my enthusiasm. I have to remember that it's a DRIVING car before it's a show car. Then I revise to the SCREEN turns off with the ignition, but the laptop remains ready to run. I only hope the issue that others are having with "USB keyboard disconnected" on hard power-offs of the touchscreen will either be fixed or not an issue for me.

I love RemoteBuddy! As for HD radio, I casually assumed I would find an HD radio dongle for the Mac... a quick internet search reveals that you are correct. I will probably use a RadioShark2 with a modified antenna (read that in another forum). ACTUALLY, if I'm really brave, I'll see about modding the RS2 with this HD reciever http://www.hdradio.com/buyers_guide....uideController

BTW, nice to make your acquaintance. You were specifically mentioned as a very knowledgeable and helpful guy by the poster that directed me to this forum.
