I've talked to several different companies and not one will even think about manufacturing a custom 6" touch-kit for me, and the 10" ones they have are much too big to fit in my double DIN space. > Something that could be interfaced with a car would be cool, definitely. > Although a touchscreen LCD in the 'oversize' compartment would probably > work..

Surprised you can get a Color LCD for 99 bucks. Yeah, my car has a built-in diagnostics port and ECU (embedded chip for engine\turbo control), so I'm going to have an input from that into the embedded CPU. Was thinking about a Heads Up Display (Honeywell makes some), but that would drive me to rip my car apart, and it'd be a pain in the ass anyway. =) -- Mark Kobussen IS - Honeywell, SGP Division mkobusse@sgp.honeywell.com skjellyfetti@iname.com ICQ#11860734 /* '94 Mitsubishi Eclipse NT 1.8L */ /* Fender Stratocaster: Tex-Mex, 3-Tone Sunburst */ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
