Rob, I took a shot and called Tom today. Very nice guy and very helpful. When he asked where I heard about the autopilot, I told him that he had you to thank for the referral. The only thing that's missing on this setup is the part that affixes to the wheel, but other than that he said everything works fine. I'll keep you updated on my progress. Thanks again for letting me know.
