- install OS Windows XP
- install GPS software
- upgrade BIOS
- add a wireless antenna

Power

- mount the power converter in the engine bay
- run the wires through the firewall
- install an extension strip

A/V

- install a motorized VGA touchscreen
- figure out how to hook up to the stock speakers

GPS
