Thanks Mark42,<br />I definitely understand your caution. If you want to give GooPs a try and need more assurance and/or info, check out this forum: MP3car GooPs Forum <br />GooPs has been used and tested there for the past several months.<br /><br />I originally developed GooPs for my boat. The car computing community has picked up on it and it has been well received.<br />
