I chickened out! - going to go the OEM route - already have the newer radio (just need the adapter wires to go from round pin to flat blades), already replaced the 4:3 screen with the 16:9, already have the bluetooth kit (just need to figure out why my car is hardwired vs plugs & what's the new cradle part that accepts the modern phone adapters)

Too many questions concerning how the OBC would react to major surgery

I keep getting the impression I can't get there from here

I would rather go the OEM way rather than perform a major surgury myself. But that Azentek Atlas CPC-1000 is pretty serious! I just DO NOT like that it uses vista... I have grown away from microsoft and all of its resourse hogging, unstable, crash prone, virus ridden software... could you imagine if your cars radio wouldn't work because it got a virus, or windows froze up/bluescreened on you? (although I would get a good laugh looking for the control, alt, delete buttons!)

another reason to avoid it and to explain why it's a pain-in-the-a**

my manta has always been "I hate Windows", even though I've had to live with it since MS-DOS.

My friend's daughter called me up last night asking if she had screwedup her laptop. I explain to her Windows is a "dirty" operating system, which creates "junk" which builds up until you need to clean it all up & out - it's like an old car that requires a "tune-up" every year (vs every 100,000 miles)
