Okay so the car stereo on the GTS is Kaput. The head unit's display quit working, and had to pull the amp because it was draining the battery.

I was patiently waiting for a project a fellow 928 owner was working on. He was trying to make a plug and play center console retrofit that would fit a carputer with touch screen and to do that was building an electronic controller to replace the factory HVAC controller. Well, he is a hardware engineer and stalled on programming his controller, got frustrated and has given up on the project.

I thought the project was cool because of the possibilities of having a touch screen carputer in the dash. Not only would it provide music, nav, and hands free phone. It can also be the HVAC controller, Remote Display/control for Valentine1, Run the engine tuning software, and run track data aquisition/video.

Talked to the hardware guy friday and have been doing research all weekend. Looks like that it will be time consuming, but the stuff to do it has been around a while and there seems to be a good support community.

Decided to get my nerd on and take over the project.
