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.
