Hey Bigaaron,

...that is smokin'. I never really considered that amount of ice and now I realize my life is incomplete!

How does the internet access work...cellular transmision? What kind of rate for mobile Internet access? Reliable? Who's a good I.P. Anything to avoid when going this route?
What do you run as far as alt and battery? I would also imagine you must have to run some heavy duty shielded cable on everything.

Seriously killer...I'm inspired!

Get a wireless card and scan for avalible wireless networks, you can steal internet from anyone who has a wireless router(as long as its not encrepted)! Burger king and Super 8 have free wifi here and cuz the schools here are run by laptops you can almost find 1-3 networks a block. Buy a cheap wifi card and test it out if you have no luck than go to that satalite shit...IDK what arron has maybe he will post?

Paddlenbike is right. My Avic-N1 is just a perfect fit. When I had it installed in my '99 Accord Coupe I was able to angel front and back about 25-30 degrees each way. With the Supra the screen has to sit directly up or else it will hit the dash. Since the dash comes out a bit it looks really flush. Also if your car is an Auto it will hit the shift lever of its in park; reverse is fine. I'll see if I can get my digital camera working and get some pics for you. personally I'd go it the carputer since it is way more functionable. And the use of if you want nave get the Garmin for a Palm, I heard their not as good a Factory system or the Pioneer but fairly close.

Good Luck

For internet access you just need a wifi card and a high gain antenna. I think the antenna was $20 and the 54g wifi card was $12 on sale at Fry's. (outpost.com) In my area there are hotspots all over the place, and all of downtown Fullerton has wifi. I can usually connect at post offices, schools many restraunts, or just about any city street. I got a handheld wifi locator and I also use Netstumbler. I figure that if they didn't password protect it, they don't mind if people use it. I don't have a password on my wireless router and I could care less if someone used it for a few minutes once in a while. I have like 2.4mb of bandwidth down so I would not even notice. Think about it, if using someones wifi is such a big deal, why did Microsoft put "automatically detect settings" and "auto connect to non-perfered networks" in windows xp? Internet should be free anyways.
