    I hope that's my Christmas present list.

        Does it have to be fitted by a professional?

          Only the aux feed if you don't wanna dismantle the dash to get to the back of the ICE if you don't have one provided.

          The rest is just routing thin wires behind pillar panels etc.

              Ouch!!!

              Coincidently I've just received update #70. Telling me about exciting design changes and links to a video of a drill and reamer working on a block of aluminium They don't seem to have a clue. After this length of time a boring video of a drill working on making the tooling is not really great news to us.

                I quite like the crowdfunding model but it can (and does) go horribly wrong
                I've avoided Indigogo for everything apart from one project that was banned from Kickstarter (no idea why).

                81 Kickstarter projects backed - 12 didn't hit the target, three refunded (two of those still shipped the product though), 11 "in progress" (10 very late), 1 hasn't finished funding yet.

                Of the ones that completed and haven't arrived, three may have done and I missed them (software downloads), and one has said that they won't ever ship because Pebble stopped making their smartwatches.

                I've probably spent about £3500 in total (which is more than I realised until I've just added it all up)

                      I seem to remember looking forward to playing it on the plane to vegas a year last September.

                      According to the last two updates they are still perfecting how to get bubbles out of the moldings of the buttons.

                      Here is that video from the update today.... Great huh.
