I haven't seen anyone put it in their car, but it's seriously so small you can put it anywhere.

Tom, that's an awesome setup you have.

Tell me more, please.

I would like to know more. Could you just use a touch screen and PC to get all the benefits of the radio, DVD, etc. without having a headunit?
