When it arrives I'll start documenting the install with lots of pictures and video.

Wow ordered it Monday and its going to arrive Thursday...awesome, so I'll start posting updates Thursday then.

First task is to move my Air Conditioning Unit to the bottom slot and remove the old radio.

My digital equalizer is taking a slot and is connected to the Amp in the Frunk so from what I have read you can not just remove it, but it must be incorporated into the new system.

Guess I'll find out soon if this is true, maybe something to do with the amplifier its matched with?

More to come starting tommorow.

yes, complete with pictures, comentary, movies, cursing, skinning my knuckles, all the bloody details.

Resolution is 800x480 which is excellent.

I have a Navigator HP Ipaq 310 that is 5" and I use it to navigate in my airplane and it is crystal clear at that resolution. should be just as nice at 7" for the car unit.

I plan to explore all the units capabilities and as you will note from the links to WinCE software I already found a neat little track timer that will be useful to some folks.

I should also be able to hook it up to the autonomous drone that will do recon and follow at altitude above the car to warn of popo and other undesirable activity around the car, but I digress. A Swarm of Nano Quadrotors - YouTube
