Tested CarPC JoyCon and it's working well. Just need to program buttons in car.
I have vol up/down, track next, and mode buttons. I'll program the mode button to mode for mapping and switch between a few. I'll start with track next and volume though.

Finished the Windows reinstall.
Got Wifi, HD Radio, GPS, SBExternal all set and music copied over to drive. Still need to install steering wheel hardware and configure and setup touch screen. I'll be ready to start taking pictures soon.

Well, need to make some changes to the plans. I had originally planned to mount the board, hdd, and power supply behind the screen. I have 8" total depth from the front of the screen to the air conditioning ducts, but with the screen in I only have 6.5" of space. So, this means there's no room for cables. I guess I'm mounting the pc in the console. Now I need a usb hub though.
