Purpose: Fast loading interface which powers on with auto start and ggracefully powers off when auto power is turned off. Serves as navigation, music, video and engine diagnostic application.
Navigation: As the defender is an off road vehicle, USGS maps will be a plus. Google Earth could work as well, assuming I can cache maps to hard drive where internet isn't available.
Music/Video: I will need to find or code a simple interface which works well via touch screen.
Camera: A back up camera is a must. Bonus points for servo mount so I can rotate camera view 360 degrees.
Engine Diagnostic: Ability to read/clear engine codes.
