Default I am considering Matts 7 inch LCD panel but want to add GPS

I know I can use the Mini-itx motherboard to house the GPS software, but that also means I have to have a keyboard and mouse in the car and use them to start the GPS application and navigate around. That isn't to neat looking and feasable either.

Does anyone know of someone who added a computer to their car and added GPS as well? I'd be curious how seamless it operated without using a touchscreen.

Also, if anyone knows of an OEM source for an LCD+GPS System in one that's just like it came from the factory could they post it?

You might check this out:

A little overboard maybe, but it shows what can be done.

I installed a computer in my xB and use "copilot" GPS for the PC it has voice comands and tells you were to go... I recently finished the install and I am in the process of tweaking all the components.

More specs of the system are in the registry under Toy Xbox,. I hope to have more pictures and updates soon.

I am looking for a 6v 4amp step down circuit or power supply for a 7 port USB hub or a hub that uses 12v. If anyone has info on this please PM Toy Xbox
