This brings up a good point, there's many new vehicles now that come with built in GPS devices, how about a wiki page that keeps track of them and lists whatever details are known, perhaps which can be made to work with OSM, etc...
What I know is that they all have a special CD or DVD with yearly data updates on them. If somebody had one of those it could be determined what files are needed on it, and how we could output OSM to work on it. Offering free GPS navigation updates for specific vehicles would be a great way to attract new users to the project. So far the only page like this I could find was http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Using_GPS_in_vehicles -Don.

I've been curious about doing something similar with the in-dash nav on my mother's Kia. Based on experience with other GPS devices, I'm guessing (but can't prove) that it's a Navigon of some sort. Wonder why more carmakers didn't go with something garmin-based...
