I use RoadRunner in my CarPc, great job and great piece of software, but it doesn't match all my requirement and to add more fun in building my CarPc i started to wrote my own FrontEnd, and to not start from 0, i started to load directly RoadRunner Skin.
My main goal is for the instant is to be able to run EniCar with the skin i'm using, Copying most of the functionnality of RR (with a few change), and after, slowly make my own change to match my taste.

I will distribute my work if people express an interest of using EniCar, but it was not my main goal when i started this project.

What are the actual Major difference between RR and Enicar.
- Written in C++ (the source will be available if people ask for them)
- Using mplayer (in slave mode for the instant (external), but i will make it part of Enicar soon to add functionnality).
Due to the use of mplayer, i support, all video format you can immagine, audio format, dvd, vcd & svcd, with subtitle, and different audio track,and all of this without any codec requirement, you can play all the video without installing all those stupide codec things.
- IGuidance will be native, stop using thousand of external app to make it "works"
- will support multiple camera (including rear view camera, with automatic switching) with recording facility

It will also be fast as my carpc is slow, actually some of the functionnalities are very fast and some are still slow for my taste (including RR skin loading, but i have a plan to make it very very fast).

Here you can find my first version that can be shown, there is still a lot work to do but it start to work, all the base is here.
This version is bundle with my MC2.0 skin, because it's my main test skin, you can try loading other skin but i not guarantee all the result. I have done some test with 4 skins, and some work pretty well and some fall into my bug or still not supported things

EniCar Ver 0.01
http://www.enitalp.com/EniCar.rar

How to make it work.

Simply unrar all the file
Edit the EniCar.ini mostly for mp3 & video directory and if you want to try to change the skin.

Enjoy it (or not )

EDIT : if you want to check my worklog : http://www.enitalp.com/

you said that you rewrote it in C++? so do i still need VB6 runtime or not? the reason im asking because im running it with xp embedded and tried to use the least amount of space and also try to make it boot and ready as fast as possible.
I am sorry but what is mplayer? is that media player? if possible, please post the required components of windows need to run your application.

Thanks
