[QUOTE="Daladim, post: 6932345, member: 624713"] Hi, I'm looking for something pretty specific, but I don't know if what I want is even made by anyone. Here's what I want to do: I want a head unit with a touch screen flip out LCD screen that can play audio and video. But I also want to be able to hook up my laptop to it and use the LCD screen as an external monitor. What I would like to end up having is a set up where I can store my Laptop in a secure box and control it from the flip out screen via a touch screen driver installed on the laptop. This would be used mainly for playing audio files through WinAmp, but I would also like to be able to browse the internet if need be. And no, this wouldn't be something I would play with while driving. I just want to have total control of the entire system all in one single unit. Is there a head unit that will allow for this, or any modifications/adapter cables I can use to make this work? I would prefer to have a Pioneer unit, but I contacted them about this and they told me that none of their units have this capability. So what's the down low on this? Is it even possible yet?
