As some of you may know, I recently came out of an Audi A4, in which I custom fabbed in fiberglass a 7" TFT Touchscreen connected to a computer in the trunk.

Looking at the s13 center console, I see much potential for the same setup. It looks as though there is almost enough room as it is to almost drop it in now.

The question is, should I do it?

In the Audi, I had the car connected to the pc with an ODBII cable for unlimited control of all things electronic on the car (custom digital gauges, fuel maps, butt dynos, etc.) Is there anything similar worth using on the s13 240? I'm still a total noob in this car so please forgive me.

Also, other non-car specific toys are the standard DVD, CD, Radio, GPS, Wireless Aircard for internet, Linksys router for when I'm parked or 'war driving,' and lots and lots of DivX porn

Has anyone else attempted this? Can something like the HKS Camp System plug into a pc/laptop?

Thoughts?
