    I really like this. I am actually planning on doing the same thing with the android x86 project an an in-dash touchscreen. my question is, Can you either use the android "headunit" as a headset/hands free device by tethering to an android phone that has a voice plan in it, or alternatively can you use the Modem in the Phone to use the "headunit" to place calls?

    This is great! I am getting a Toshiba Thrive tomorrow which has a usb port, and looking for a suitable mount and software in addition to Torque.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks everyone!
