Hi all dont have my unit yet but planning on buying it. I looked at the Eclipse and Kenwood competitors but looks like the AVIC owns. I like the windows CE idea..

So here is what I'm wondering. Does anyone think its posible to install drivers for simple devices like wireless usb nics, keyspan remote control, keyboard(thumb board), or mice. Also would it be posible to install other apps ( assuming yes).

I'm not sure if pioneer disabled the mouse all together. I have a built in mouse in my car for my car-puter and in some cases pref that over touch screen. May use them interchangeably.

My goal here is to get the AVIC-F900BT to act just like the car-puter ( as much as I can ). I got to see the avic in action and was very impressed.

Haven't tried it myself but people say that a USB mouse/keyboard should "just work". That's how Pioneer works with them, supposedly...

I know for a fact that a USB optical mouse does NOT work. No power to the mouse. I haven't tried a keyboard or a ball mouse though.

Try with a powered hub... at least that's what I have heard trhrough the grapevine...

I read that in test mode its quite posible but I wonder how hard it would be to get these device working in gui mode. Any one install any software with success? Say for example codecs and a player for the non dvd version?
