Sounds very similar to the idea that I have been bouncing around with for quite some time. The biggest difference is that I plan to use a 7" touch screen VGA monitor connected to a custom "Carputer." I will be running Linux on the carputer with the ability to do just about everything short of having coffee ready when I get in the truck in the morning.

I would love to see your progress as you set this up!
