I'm retiring my Dodge van and replacing it with a Ford extended with a V-10!
(I'm gona get my share of gasoline before the SUV cellphone soccermoms get
it all) In the new van, I want a computer with the following:
-Full standard computing applications
-GPS and navigation
-mp3, cd, DVD
-Video in for cameras
-Wifi and find hot-spots on the road

That's easy, but it would be nice to:
-Telemetry from the van and engine - MPH, gas milage, other instruments
-Control the engine and trans by reprograming the chip like some stand-alone
units

Any experience? There is a ton of carcomputer info out there but I haven't
seen it all in one place and nothing about engine chip control.

I'm thinking about the layout and don't see too much trouble but am looking
for somebody that already made all the mistakes or has the answers.
