Default Does Anyone have Drivesoft, etc?

A search returned no results on Drivesoft... any of you guys here using it? Looks to be pretty expensive. But being a computer guy it looks like it has neat possibilities. What about other forms of in dash PCs?

How does one go about mounting touchscreens in the dash? I hate these 1.5 DIN stereos they got. Also, how does one go about getting sound out of the factory speakers from the PC? A few of them have amp outputs but I wouldn't want to run factory speakers on the amp.

Haha, yeah I had the feeling someone would say that. Been looking around MP3Car for a while now. Lots of intelligent folks there with good ideas. I see a regular car computer can be had for only a few hundred bucks. Thanks.

Its a full computer with windows xp and wireless internet. I would like to use it to tune but I am not sure where i can get software like that. I use the computer and satelite radio for music. The nice thing about having the computer in there means no more cds. I can download songs or copy a cd to the harddrive.
