GPS+Engine Management? Need Replies ASAP!
 
im going to buy a gps system but i was wondering if it was possible to hack it or download to it, engine management programs or boost controllers, oil temp, etc.
does anyone know if you can do that?
what would be the best gps system to buy?
im looking to spend a max of $400 at circuit city (i have a gift card) and i need it by tomorrow! (just the gps, not engine managment)

buy a garmin nuvi, easy to use
but i think it will be cheaper and less timely to jus buy an engine management rather than trying to create ur own, hence having a chance that you might screw up

Well it could be done, I my self coulnt, it would take some serious knowlage and programing skills of that particular device to do anything like that, but it would be nice to have that!

but, i have a friend that works for ibm as a programmer
and even a person like him with that much software knowlegde
decided to jus buy the EMS rather creating his own

ok.
the only problem is theres like nowhere to put it!
maybe in the ashtray, but then it blocks climate control. and if i put it in the windshield, it blocks alot of my vision, any suggestions?

and no i didnt get the traffic thing, its like 200 bucks.

ill rather have it block the climate control(which i never use)
rather than the gps blocking an oncoming car from my right
