Thought i might put this out there, been looking around for a while for a suitable sat nav/ipod control and may have found it! I ony have the high ice and therefore no screen at the moment but saw this website: http://www.xenarc.com/product/cp-fl9.html I must say looks very interesting. Should be able to do both of these tasks as well as play DVD's. Only real restriction would be the amount of software you install on it! Going to see if this thing is compatible with a stock LR monitor and fit the Car PC (as they call it) in the top glove box, running audio down and into the aux input of the stereo. Still got to find out some more info but will keep you all posted as to the outcome. |

no need for dual DVD's, 40 GB hard drive, just install sat nav straight to hard drive, like the new JVC units coming out |

Allows you to run both sat nav and play DVD's etc at the same time. Really only limited by what you can install on the computer, have found software which will run Sat nav no probs, just have to find the correct program to allow hands free with the mobile and i should be able to play my ipod straight out of itunes, all controlled via a touch screen monitor!| ddazzler Member Since: 29 Sep 2006 Location: Good ol oz Posts: 19

Any idea on the cost yet? Been looking at TOMTOM setup http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/post59396.html#59396 but would much rather something that looks a bit more factory and saves running separate DVD system. I know Trivetts in Sydney have someone fitting a system (including headrest monitors) so might check that out.

That concept is very close to what i will be achieving with this setup! Been digging around and found a forum called http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/ These guys have been playing with this stuff for a few years and it is all possible. What you need is a mini PC installed with windows XP, you then need to have winamp andmedia player for the basics. The PC will need bluetooth, wifi and GPS antenna. All three of these can be fitted into USB ports. The guys on this forum have created an interface called roadrunner which loads upon start up and is displayed on the screen. This software has bluetooth phone built in, dvd and multi media playback, sat nav, ipod and internet capabilities. From here the options are pretty well unlimited, you can install your own programs, ie Destinator or Iguidance and change the prompt in the roadrunner program so when you press the sat nav button on the screen it will open this program instead, same said for power DVD or whatever. The best thing about this program is that these guys use it and so it's constantly being developed, this is where the wifi connection comes in...... once a week, just connect to the internet connection, assuming it's wireless |

Speak to 10forcash on the D3 side, he has a pc set up in his car and I think one of the Irish guys has too. |

You have replaced the stock screen. Why couldn't you use the existing screen? Was it easy to remove? Is this unit sitting next to the SatNav unit? Thanks Rob Rob *Gone - HSE TDV8 Rimini Red + Tasmod sill plates |

Nah Robbi, opted not to get the LR sat nav option, couldn't justify the cost. The original screen only has an AV input whereas most highend LCD monitors use a VGA input, this is what i have purchased. As for the sat nav, it's all going to be installed on the pc. Running Destinator and voice command, gives me plenty of options as to what i want and can do |
