First off nice HU The setup is pretty sweet but for the love of God please remove that warning sticker on your cubby hole
Any shots of the GPS in action, it is awesome? Can you play a DVD at the same time as the GPS and just switch back and forth? As for your wireless, what program you using as your sniffer and what antennae r u using for that.
One more thing about the HU, how do you get the CD text to display. I am embarresed, I am d@mn lan admin and I can't figure it out, it just says no text to be displayed reguardless of what new CD I put in, I have even used NERO and included the CD text and it still doesn't work. I have gotten to to work on past HU's, it pisses me off. Again I am buying new CD's that should have the text but I can't get it to display.

yes and yes, as for pictures, am usually driving when the gps is "in-action", but will take one tonite before i start driving.

i never said wireless, i said internet . it connects via GPRS thru bluetooth thru my sony ericsson t637

What program are you using as your home?

I see that you initially startup in windows, but then load your own custom program w/ all of your dvd/ audio/gps options on it? Was this a custom designed program and if so, how do I get ahold of it?

I looked for that screen and can't find it for less than $400. Could you list in your site where you got all the parts, except for of coarse the Dell PC .

great setup!! Mine is very similar, except I use a laptop instead for the battery backup purpose.
The only regrets I have is window's inability to instant on/off like a HU. But putting it in Hibernation mode with battery backup does make everything boot up significantly faster. Overall, the nav in car pc is definantly a cheaper way than other in car nav solution. Especially now, with the car pc, it makes it hard for me to justify putting in a dual din Eclipse
