I've got a workmate who has a pretty flash car with a "Pioneer Avic" car stereo head unit in it, now apparently these things are the bees knees when it comes to car stereos, and from what he tells me especially because he bought the thing when it first appeared on the market he paid a hefty price as well. for no one that knows its a dble Din touchscreen unit that has built in hard disk, GPS, plays movies can play tv, if you buy extra attachment, can talk to the car via the "cambus" system...?, and most of the other regular features that can found on things similar to this, He told me he paid 4K AUD for the thing when it first came out, so I would tell him why wouldn't you just build your own car PC for a fraction of the price which does more...!!, he complains to me about the 40 GB hard disk that comes with it, I think this is only for GPS maps and when a CD is inserted it automatically Rips to hard disk, he's looked into getting another harddisk as its just your standard laptop size, but apparently (I assume "Pioneer"), have made this vitually impossible, so if there's no way around that, he asks me is it possable to I assume that there would be a process of flashing a rom of some sort, with say....some version of windows, or maybe linux..... Thanks in advance !!, Nick....
