I'd really like to have... I guess have the MP3 controlled through the navigation screen (which is how the 2007+ cars do it), so I could see what song is playing.
 
Since I go to school in a shitty city, I don't want to be setting anything up that is easily visible from the outside.

Actually, that reminds me of a problem.

My Grand Prix had a dark colored headliner, with significant recess from the windows. I could hide the V1 up there, hanging off a visor, and it was almost invisible, you only found it if you were looking deliberately for something to be hanging there.

The G has a light colored headliner, and with much less recess, meaning the V1 will be partially exposed there, which is a bad thing.

Of course.

Let's imagine a G37x (really, any car) with an Android based OS for a touch screen center control.

Then you have a program to handle navigation, another program to handle music, and another program to run a driver information center.

Now I want to add a V1 concealed display to it. Okay, no problem, root the Android OS, add another program, bam, done.

wait why do you want to hide it?
 
So I'd rather it be concealed. I wonder if I can wrap the sides and bottom of the unit in a light colored cloth to blend in better. Can't hide the sensors fore and aft obviously though.
 
The most common mount for these cars is actually hanging from the mirror, but that's way too visible for me. The visor isn't in a great place for it though, and it's way too thick for the clip.
 
I also need to patch a wire into the rearview mirror to run the V1... oh shit, I don't know how to set up the concealed display with that. I don't think it's possible. Anyway, there's no way to get the normal power cord up, the A pillars are sealed.
 
Uh... concealed display... it's really weird how it works.

V1 ----- lighter adapter ----- CD

Almost like it's in parallel, with no direct connection between V1 and display.
