So its been a week since i installed the computer in the car.

This thing is great! I got almost all the functions of MMI but i have XM on touchscreen :P

So the USB GPS device is great, i can punch up destinations via voice, however the pick up needs work (too much noise in background)

XM is great, i can see whats on 20 channels simultaneousley.

Onboard VAG_COM allows me dataloging and on the fly DTC diagnostic, as well as VAG_Scope giving me O2 sensor readouts and other gauges

Dvd player and MP3 player

and most importantly the Touchscreen interface with my Bearcat scanner for police and Fire activity

Of course within the week i have experienced the standard windows quirks.. and 1 bluescreen of death! (I was trying to use XM GPS and use Vagc om at the same time.. it worked for 4 -5 min tho.

I also added 2 wireless gamepads by intel for use on the SNES and Genesis emulator for the rear screens.

Have you thought about fitting in a bathroom and a small kitchen? WOW.

I thought of converting it into an Avant and put a full bath in the rear with a bbq attached via trailer hitch

Sounds awesome!

that my local A8 tech told me?
If he was correct, how did you rectify this?
Also, where is the USB GPS antenna located?
Did you use the Copilot 2004 software?
Where's the mic located for voice recognition?
Are there any noise cancelling mic available to help w/ the background noise?

I'm glad you can finally enjoy the fruits of your labor. Once again good work.

I checked with Andy and he said no problem, it will not stay in diag mode when plugged in.
