I was thinking of getting one of those micro atx computers or net books and take it apart and add it to the empty space where the navi goes. Are there any places that sell kits that help me with the install? All I can find is that I should at least get a 7" touch screen. I want to have a regular computer that hooks up to my sound system and able to sync with my iphone , as well hooking up my OBDII & Maybe later Osiris up rev once I do more mods. Any suggestion where to look? Thanks!

You could gut a netbook, place it in one of the storage bins behind the seat where it will have air space to remain cool, and then run the video and audio cables beneath the carpet back to behind the console.

This is one of the best implementations I've seen on a stock navigation:

That is insanely clean. Looks totally OEM running on the factory nav screen.

...wtf? How could he be reading like -20psi of boost? I thought around -14 or -15 was a perfect vacuum... maybe its reading in mmHg or inHg and the units never changed on the screen?

Maybe it's from a George Barris streetsweeper.
