Good work  - I've got a '2 aswell - great cars! 
Are you on the IMOC list perchance?
As you say - space is at a premium in these things :/
Where have you put the GPS mouse for best reception without being in the way?

Here's a sample picture, there's tons more on the website, and although it's complete, I've still got much more to do. Currently used for sat nav, movies and of course MP3s I plan to improve the interface, add more features such as cameras, security interface, obdII and better car integration.

Nice work. I like your car. Here's a pic of my MR2 I sold about 2 years ago. That car is a lot of fun. Cheers. -m

It's in th emiddle of the dashboard at the moment, but it seems to work under the seat (!) so it might end up there!

It's a merconnet screen, non-vga  using composite video at the moment, I will be changing it when I have some spare money for something better, however!

I have a 91 MR2-T and I've been wondering how I can fit a 7 inches LCD into the console. I'd probably want it to be where the double din is at. Any of you have any ideas or pictures? Thanks!
