Thanks Mike, helpful info.

Heck I thought you'd have them turned on now.

Why do I always get drug into this??? Must be some kind of profiling going on here...

Denny

you mean he turns them off??????

Has to be some kind of law against letting an opening line like that slip by, bro.. *lol*

I like both Delorme and Streets & trips, Mike... both have their good and bad, especially when I have to argue with it about the route.. lol

We mainly changed to S&T because Delorme didn't cover baja and S&T has a little coverage there, at least the hiway and main towns..

Do you use the laptop to monitor the temp on the heated seats? Mac

Couldn't have anything to do with the silhouette... all rams have bunny ears flopping out the window, right?

I was playing with the gps in my brothers lexus suv when he put it in reverse and it became a monitor for the back up camera.. kind of freaky, if you're not expecting it... Mac

I suppose if you didn't, the friggin' rabbit would have used it.

Naw, I use the exhaust gas pyro gauge. I have a toggle swicth that allows me to switch between exhaust temp and tush temp.

Does it redline at taco bell? Mac

I agree with miles, the factory nav unit is much preferred to a bunch of wires and mounting brackets. However, one warning: (I could be an isolated case), one year after I bought my truck, the factory nav unit became very unreliable. 20% of the time it wouldn't read the disc ... and slowly it progressed to 100% of the time.

The dealer swore up and down that it was the disc itself. However, he could not explain why it worked fine in other vehicles with the same unit. They finally decided to replace the unit under warranty.

It has been perfect ever since ... with the original disc.

Should we even ask where you have the second thermocouple? :^)

You could do this:

Advantages:

1) Add a Verizon PC Card or teather to a Treo Palm and buy music and videos via iTunes while driving down the road. 2) Route 66 GPS software 3) Touch screen and infared remote for convenience. 4) Mac Power!

5) Autosync your home machine with your truck when you pull into your driveway if you have a wireless network.

6) Chicks would dig you.

Disadvanatges:

1) You would pay less attention to the road, resulting in:

a. Increased road rage experiences b. a fender bender.

There's one in every group ain't there Tom?

You missed this part "moved from car to truck easily" of my question.

Roy

no we didn't. we just suggest you system in the car and put the car in the back of the Ram and use the nav system that way *great big grin*

If you're not really sure, would it be a suppose - a - tory?? Mac
