that might solve your #2
2. Cannot embed Streets and Trips into Road Runner

here is the thread:
Brushed Metal Streets and Trips 2006 skin
2 different skins available for S&T. S&T actually has some benefits over Mappoint. The biggest is the use of AutoIT scripts to control the GPS pane. If you read the thread you'll see what I'm refering to.

Haven't really used Frodoplayer much. It has to have support for some nav software. Destinator, Iguidance?

For an OSK that will work in that skin I recommend uboard found in the CFX tools, again it's talked about in that thread.

First off your work is great and I think your wiring gauge choices will be good. I will basically be coping some if not most of that.

Also the splash screen is great!

I just gotta learn how to hack it to say LIBERTY B4 instead or Impreza WRX.

If I can ask for some assistance - not meaning to hijack your thread, but I need to know how the bezel lines up and if you had any more room?

I've taken a few shot of how my dash looks like in the liberty B4 (known as legacy in the USA) I am wanting a similar bezel from mechatroniks.com but with maybe a longer bottom and sides as I have an extra din and the AIRCON is screwed in and part of the original brackets.

I'm thinking of the nano board mounted on the bezel but not sure it will have enough to run GPS,Phone and DiVX, or should I get a commell LV-675 P-M for the extra power.

Any suggestion, my Subaru buddies.

Once again sorry for adding this to your work log, just let me know if you want me to remove it and I'll edit my post ASAP.

PEACE
Kosti

Hey guys, let's consider I have had some summer break

I just came back from my trip to Indianapolis, where I watched Formula One US Grand Prix. Great times. Back to work now!

Kosti, as far as your question, I don't really know if it'll fit Legacy. All I learnt is that metal bezel in height is taller that the "hole" for radio. So when you install it without any mods/cutting just plug and play (on Impreza), it appears as though it sits deeper inside.

I was not happy with that. This fact is certainly not mentioned in advertisement. So anyway (I still love this kit) what I did was I grabbed dremel and basically removed top and bottom rib of my dash. But I removed it inside. Outside it appears as OEM and nothing is cut inside ok? What this permitted me to do is to bring LCD a little closer outside.
