i always wanted to ask, how do you get that lexus logo in the middle? i mean, does that mean it's some software lexus specific? or you can "custom" program anything you want?

Wow, looks great. You should apply for a job with Lexus and show this in your resume.

From the pics, the trim color looks slightly off though...

Sweet. Are you getting sound (either radio or CD/DVD) out of the computer yet? Or are you now working on getting the touch screen installed and working? I still can't believe just how polished and refined the interface is. It looks simply awesome. Good luck.

yeah, the color is a bit off. That was the closest I could find besides straight black. i may try to mist on a thin layer of black to darken it up a bit.

@ LEXISM: Thanks!

@jellybean: It is fully operational. I am getting all FM radio stations. I can Play MP3's (40gb Hard Drive) Movies (mpg, avi) I also have GPS navigation. The next thing I need to add is the slim slot load DVD drive I'm going to try to mount it into the lip of the ashtray (if you've ever pulled it out, you know what i mean!).

I'm doing my car computer right now. Are you going to run subs? How are you hooking up your audio system? Y-Splitter?
