Guys, what navigation software and GPS receiver/antenna do you have and use in your VX?

BTW – Do you know any inexpensive and user friendly PC-based OBD-II software for Windows OS? Just recently came across AutoTap. Does anyone have an experience with this soft?

I bought some ODBII diagnostic adapter/software from ebay a while back, but haven't had any luck with it. Appears not to be compatible with the VX. I can't remember the name offhand, it was something obscure i had never heard of before.

Autotap was what I was thinking of looking into next.

The GPS I've been using is Copilot 2003, and it uses their proprietary GPS unit that comes with it only. It kinda sucks and it's refresh is slow - it's always having trouble locking. I'm probably gonna switch GPS software so I can use a different GPS unit, this is what I'm probably gonna get as it uses WAAS (accurate up to 3 meters).

For those of you who are actually persuing this. I found a really cool mini-itx case which dimensions almost fit underneath the front seat of the VX (with removing the foam cushion underneath the carpet like I had to do for mine)

I'd buy it, but I already fabricated my own out of an electronic enclosure - and also don't need a DVD underneath the seat. Eventually I'll flush mount a player into the side of the center console once I finally get around to getting a firewire player.

You can only extend IDE to like 12 feet i think without signal loss (like VGA).
