does anyone know if it is possible to tap into GPS receiver that is in a NON-NAV car?
I have a laptop with MS MapPoint that can comminicate with GPS receivers - I noticed the car had one after I went into the service menu it displayed my latitude and longitude.
I had heard of a hack for a Cadilac that you could use a serial cable to hook into the OnStar unit under the seat.
It would very cool if I could use bluetooth to hook the two together but I think I am dreaming on that one.
thanks

I think it's possible. Go to www.realoem.com and look for part which shows you some hints to the GPS receiver.
Good luck
