Thanks, Its a skin that works on ride runner, so once completed i will post it up for anyone to download, tricky bit for 8 owners is the non touchscreen interface, im looking at making a bluetooth interface or rather pulling a 4 button bluetooth mouse apart

then set the controls in a box and mount it in the cup holder space with hopefully some matching veneer to set it off. need some nice button caps but havent found any that resemble the audi ones yet.

gatso works well, though like many systems relies on poi type data, which you will be able to auto sync whenever you want, either by having internet access directly, or being close enough to your home wireless system (so you can download new data every morning). at the moment it alerts by (configurable) bleeping,and/or voice that says warning and the speed, and on screen display with current speed and road sign mph. also has a countdown in meters to the camera with a bar display like the audi dis display.. also tells what type of camera or school zone etc it is. im looking for data which has the heading information so it only alerts when going the correct way.

you need the internet in car for google earth to work, and the second nav which is mappoint, mapmonkey or iguidance will be able to track a gps device, very james bond, nice gadget but doesnt have much use though.
