I actually 'finished' the project a couple of weeks before i traded in the car. It sucked to pull out all the wiring and hardware.

How is your install doing? Anything new?

I haven't done much more with my install.... changed skins to MC2.0, running iGuidance 3.0, and added SIRIUS..... a couple of things have been on my list for a while but I haven't had time, plus the heat hasn't been helpful either.... I bought a USB bluetooth module that I haven't installed, a TV tuner card, Powermate, IR remote, voice control, i still haven't bought the cd rom drive.....

Man, that list just keeps getting longer!!!! But none of those are priority, that is probably why I haven't done them yet!

well at least you have it up and running!

i think the next thing on my list to buy would be a powermate.

did you end up using streetdeck?

i couldn't get it to properly install on my system so i gave up.

I actually never installed streetdeck in the car.... i tested it on my computer and didn't really like it and had a few glitches with my music library so I decided to stick with RoadRunner which has worked beautifully!

I dont have my computer installed and ready yet. I did however order the new transreflective monitor MP3 store tells me that it should be here tomorrow. I should be able to make it this weekend so that I can compare it to what you guys have and see if it was worth all that extra money.

I live in Reston. Just started work on my Mercedes GL450. The head unit is out for modification right now.

It would be great to get a chance to meet a few folks who are running puters in their cars right now. I've been reading the board for a few weeks but nothing like hearing experiences and/or seeing installs live.

I plan to show.
