Has anyone found a nice lightweight portable automotive stand that would compliment our TR’S ? Not the steering wheel type but something that is functional while driving?

I really would not suggest driving and using your PC at the same time, unless your using GPS functionality.

Shamefully, I use my TR while driving…and not for GPS purposes…actually, I’m usually pretty good about it. I load up my playlist before I start moving and then listen to MP3s while on the road. Occasionally I will reach over to the notebook and feel for the arrow keys to skip tracks. LOL

I am hoping to use my laptop with gprs as we have a bluetooth gprs. I am told autoroute 2004 is a good program, anyone out there have any suggestions as a good program for use with our gprs, preferably with voice navigation.
As to a holder I would like something that could hold the tr1 in either the front for navigation or the back for passengers to watch DVD’s

[quote author=“dutch_treasure”]They should give laptops a remote control like on Discmans and Mp3 players.

Sony made one for their older C1 series.
