Since the motherboard we're using only has 1 PCI slot, we're still deciding what we should use it for. I might try out a TV/radio tuner and see how that works on the road with the antenna. As an update, I am almost done with this project, just working on the molding of the touchscreen into the radio trim area.

What about something like this? I know it is for a Mac, but do you think they might have made Windows drivers?

i understand that, but its in a good location where you can take it down and type, and somehow latch it on the visor for takeoff.

aliga...no trimming is required as of yet...I did however make the lower portion of the screen indent a bit for better viewing from the rear seats...
Here are some more pictures: rear shot, mediacar with brushed metal lexus skin, and a music video playing..

So that screen looks like it fits great. Why take out the volume ****? I'd be all about connecting that to the computer to control volume. You should be able to wire it directly to the x or y axis of the joystick port if you've got one, then use the DirectInput stuff (I think, it's been a while) to get the value. How much did you get that screen for?
In case you're wondering, I'm getting close to doing this with a Apple 1.25GHz 15" Powerbook mainboard; the biggest challenge being the display...
