I have my empeg in the glove box. I also have a very small computer with TV out in the car, displaying a combination of track/now&next in smooth 640x480 (http://strobos.cee.vt.edu/EmpegVNC). The TV-out is connected to my car's navigation system auxiliary A/V . I control the Empeg with a Pioneer steering wheel remote using an IR extender. And I have a suitably sized 3.5" hard drive lying around...

I would move my car's current Empeg to a docking station I bought from Mark Lord and place the one with no display in my car.
