Which computer did you go with? I would want one that can do music, navigation, and web browsing.
this is the one i have Logic Supply - Leaders in Mini-ITX & Small Form Factor SolutionsQuote:

check out those links of the ones i send you and you can do everything you stated. For the navi you just need a gps antenna its about $30 bucks. For the web i use my cricket broadband modem, or if you got a smartphone or pda you can always tether the data from the phone to the pc, and use it as a modem.
Broadband | Wireless Internet | Cricket Wireless
you can do anything you can do on your home pc or laptop.
i want to get the ODBII to usb interface cable so i can see what the engine is doing.
How do you tune the audio without a "regular" radio in the truck?
the audio output from the computer is wired to a radio i installed, in the center consoleQuote:

and yeah my truck is dirty i have been working at a ranch with my dad
So there's no way to tune the audio on the computer? I don't have a full center console like that, I have a bench.
you can mute and raise the volume on the computer but the output is not enough to run it to the speakers or an amp.Quote:

I have a 5 channel amp, that probably shouldn't matter though. Sorry for all the freakin' questions, this looks more like the route I would wanna go compared to getting a Kenwood DNX6140 double din touchscreen reciever.
