Actually, I was expecting the in-dash version to be wired only, wired to the in-car ethernet supported by the server in your trunk. You don't know about trunk servers? I found this reference (notice the last line) > 2005 SlimServer Commit by kdf :: r4584 > /branches/BRANCH_TT_WRAPPER/server/ (6 files in 4 dirs): (link) > Description: - updates from trunk But seriously, folks, I'm sure I saw a description of someone a while ago who put something like a buffalo linkstation in their trunk and ran a moded squeezebox in their dash. It wouldn't take much for SLIM to come up with a box that fit the form factor of a car radio. A word of warning ... if you want to try this at home, read carefully the articles on the net about getting clean power in a car. It's not a simple task ... you have to be very careful about assumptions during startup and shutdown of the engine. It's a very spikey environment. Oh, and I think they used wireless to update the system from the home system when it was parked in the garage at night ... -- Michaelwagner _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
