Any buttons that Car2PC can read will be configurable.
Issues!
When selecting a port the port is not opened correctly. To work around this Save settings and exit Centrafuse then go back in to settings and you should then be able to add your actions.
Some Windows themes are causing dialogs to be displayed behind the main window. Symptons are that the dialog displays briefly then seems to disappear. Watch out for this.
I chucked ALL the actions in and some of them may not need to be there while others have some dodgy names. This can be customized though in the English.xml language file. Entries can be removed and description can be altered if anyone fancies.
Centrafuse does not have any actions for Forward/Rewind and Playlist manipulation but these are on David's list to add.
What's Next?
Still would like to do headunit display. Now I have my car it should be easier!
