So.. i'm sat here thinking about what to do with the interior of the car and the electronics and I have decided that the standard sat nav system, whilst always finds signal, is rubbish.

What are your thoughts on what I could replace it with?

Every time I think about putting a screen in there, I think what's the point as I would never watch film / videos - I could put a sony sat nav a la Stav, but what else could I put in it's place?

Help!

That's the problem I had, fitted the full set up and then never used it..Sad

I think a dedicated sat nav would be much more useful, which is what I'll replace the hole the car PC left once my funds are replenished.

But I was thinking something like an Archos media tablet would be fun to have in there.

I looked into that too as you can get docks for them but talked myself out of it. Just not sure what to do with it.

Do what I want to do, a 7" android screen running the torque app using a Bluetooth obd sender. Job done.

I just need a sat nav housing now.
