Finally a DD Head unit with VGA touchscreen
Coming this month, according to this website:
http://www.digitalww.com/DWW-6500.htm
It seems crazy to me that no major manufactuer has input for computer/touchscreen control. They have left the market open for others.

they have been around for a while, but no one makes a good one, meaning something that acutalyl is reliable and sounds good or has a good interface...
to be honest, i would wait until one of the bigger companies brings one to the market...

Just can't find them here. I think the major manufacturers are avoiding it like the plague, with a HU touchscreen VGA, you just hook up a cheap laptop or bare bones PC and you can nav, telephone, MP3, movie, all of it, for much much less money than they charge for their proprietary stuff. Just price out a Pioneer, Eclipse, Kenwood, Alpine, DD unit with nav, DVD, bluetooth, ipod hookup etc, big money.
Like Sony, they know the money is in proprietary.

The Dynamix does not state if the unit has touchscreen output for control of a computer. It does have VGA input, a member of mp3car emailed them. The pdf attached to the web page shows a different monitor. Touchscreen output is a key necessity for computer control.

Ok, I just emailed Dynamix to get clarification, the "touch screen" aspect of this unit only operates internal functions, like am/fm, cd, dvd. There is no mouse control, so you are right, it is worthless for a Car PC, even if it does have VGA input.
I edited my previous post in hopes no one orders it thinking it will work.
Good catch gringott
