Not gonna fly. They are two different animals. The only thing the Z shares common to a PC is a hard drive.

From what I know, the Z is ran by Windows automotive....which is basically a dumbed down version of Windows CE/Mobile....

I'm going to guess that the OS is flashed on flash memory...And the Aviz's "skin" is running like a "virtual" desktop on top of the WIndows Automotive.

I would think that the Avic would struggle with a full blown Windows OS, if it could run at all.

What would be interesting, is if you could solder in a mod chip in front of that flash-rom to boot to.

This guy's got a great idea, by using a Mac Mini...it would be cool to have wifi web browsing in your dash...

This would be the ultimate....with ODBII interface....So you can view what your car is doing, build custom software to tune or trroubleshoot your rig...etc...
