In light of that, I decided to start a Car PC project taht will have a lcd and a slot load dvd-rom replacing the business cd. it would then support bluetooth, wifi, and so on, the possibilities are endless and it also just taps into the radio's aux input. so if this is something your interested in, i can send you the schematics, you can also refer to my other thread. search for carpc.

Hey, thanks Vitriol, for the quick reply!
But it's just so frustrating that the OEM system is so limited without tons of time, cash & headaches for a retrofit, yet the after-market route loses crucial integration.
How annoying it that?!
What's the point of building tech into the cars if it's not going to be "universal" in fit & function. Forgive the rant, but personally I don't want to spend eons of spare time outfitting a carpc on a car that should be easier to outfit with simpler options. Just my .02.
I'll see how others fare with after-market units (like perhaps the new Avic coming next month, supposedly, with BT handsfree) before weighing that option. However, thanks for the inbox offer!! Good luck & perhaps your pix & tips will change my mind!! :p
