I am using my Beta Touch running TinySC in my Expedition at this time. I am powering it off of a hardwired DC/DC 5VDC supply with a fuse on the power lead to the Touch and using a USB powered USB Drive (Toshiba 320GB with no need for external power). This setup replaced the SB3 with a Panasonic Toughbook as server. I used the WebUI to do all the controlling except for volume. The Toughbook was mounted on an "L" shaped bracket that attached to the two bolts that hold the two seat rails in place and has a three section arm head piece that allowed the laptop to be positioned just about anywhere between the two front seats.
The Touch fits much better and doesn't bug the better half like the Toughbook did sometimes. And for safety, Volume is controlled on the In-Dash head unit. It is easy to tap forward to advance tracks while driving. And again for safety, I play albums/artists or build a current playlist that I start right after starting the SUV or make changes at traffic lights. When saved playlists are available, I will use them. I am really looking forward to when TinySC is complete and I can see just how far I can take using the Touch in the SUV. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67636 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
