Hi Everyone!

Heres my install this weekend of a VoomPC case, M10000 running XP, audio goes into the BMW AUX input in the armrest but the cool thing is that the UI is pumped over bluetooth to my mobile.

I can get between 5-7 fps for UI updating which is plently for browsing the music library, adding tracks to the playlist, etc etc !

First of off the VoomPC case in the boot:



Nicely hidden away...



Ignition sense and audio into the arm rest:




Then the phone on the dash:



And a little close up:



Theres a little more info here

Only supports audio as this was instead of an ipod/cdchanger.

It has playlists which you can add music to whilst playing, music can be searched though quickly and it auto syncs any new music with the home pc when parked outside, so i'm happy with it all working, including hibernation and bluetooth was was a nightmare to get working.

I've added (serial) GPS to the carpc, and repeated this over a BT com port for the phone to use for sat nav. Also the car pc monitors speed via the gps, etc so i can work out max speeds, 0-60 times etc..!

Its nice having the GPS built it as its one less cigarette powered perpherial in the front.
