Holy crap dude! That's better than Pimp My Ride! You've got a second career waiting for sure. I strut around like the cock of the walk after I install a new bulb!

I know what you mean... Anyway, I didn't catch the time to get a wireless internet before I traded the car in.
The keyboard was mainly for perfecting all the settings and stuff.

I have been thinking of picking up one of these for the car and for meetings (customer offices without guest access). It comes with an AC (wall power) and DC (car power) adapter. It'll let you plug in 3G USB and Express34 cards for access, and it has WiFi b/g access point capabilities. ~$180.

Nice gadget. I can use internet in my old laptop via bluetooth connected cell phone. Not anyway car related solution though. Except if I grab the power from car for both things.

Actually I think that was the only macho feature in that car. And that too was detachable!
No, great car overall...

Yeah, that works but a WiFi AP is a bit easier for most people to deal with. Bluetooth device drivers can be spotty, and it doesn't tie up your handset...

Thanks folks.

Hehe. I'd like to know if the new owner ever wondered about those RCA and line level cords in the trunk .
