    Haven't had much time to do anything to the Grabber lately, but all the work is putting extra money in my pocket so I got the Grabber a gift, it will now be connected in so many ways, I bought a double din unit to go in the console, it has Digital T.V., Bluetooth, DVD Player, CD player, AM/FM Radio, I-Pod hook up, USB hookup, Backup Camera, GPS, Picture in Picture High Definition screen, Remote Control, it's 3G, WIFI, and it's a Touch Screen, it can be hooked to a large external hard drive with all kinds of music movies and music videos on it, and it will play and display Karaoke Disc, it also has two external monitor outputs that can be used, I also will be adding Sirius Radio as I got one in a trade with Lifetime Service Contract, I thought one of the external monitor hook-ups could be used at shows with the 7" pole mounted monitor I have to show a DVD about the build of the car and the the different stages it went through.
    Now if could just get that kitchen sink in there hmmmmm....

    It's an X Trons brand, I have been looking at them since they came out, most were not able to hook up to a Hard Drive and no WIFI on them, this one fit the bill and has a two year warranty, yeah if it fails I gotta ship it back but WTH, I just needed something with all the goodies I wanted in it and domestic ones didn't offer anything close, I looked at their website and forum for months before pulling the trigger on it, got this one from E-Bay and it took like maybe a week to get it here, not too bad, I have had another brand single din in my truck for 8 years with no problems it has been a good one, if I can get half the service from this one I will be a happy Mavericker, I had planned to get one and pre-wired the Grabber when I redid the interior so it should be an easy install, that is if this third console I have built fits properly.

    Pretty sweet! I was looking at the XTrons website, which model # did you end up with? They have some wicked cool stuff.

    RMAs today seem to go pretty smooth....so if it does go bad and you have to ship it back it shouldn't take more than 2-3 weeks total.....typically faster....depends on the company....

    as I said sweet dude.....you got me thinking.....:idea::D

    Yeah well that's something I don't do ''text and drive" I don't have a facebook either, internet is for finding things while out of town, like restaraunts or bars, and the gps is for getting me there, the dvd or movie player is for parking and sparking:dancing: and bluetooth is of course for answering the phone hands free (it comes through the speakers in the car) and the rest is pretty standard on most cars now, they say in a couple of years wifi or 4G will be the "norm" in most of the new cars and trucks and they will actually communicate with each other on the roadways, I am gonna look into applications I can download for mine to do more things, like maybe something for g-force and acceleration along with top speed and average speeds, just something like to track things with or engine managment software.
