Your design sounds great, Mark. Count me in as very interested. I was going to start a project like this myself but "real life" has gotten in the way of all my projects lately.

I would probably just want mine in a flat black color, so I guess I'd paint it myself. Do you have any plans to offer serial on the back? Didn't see anything about that.

I don't have a mute line connected, so I would actually prefer the tuner detection patch were incorporated into Hijack to accomodate those of us who would rather the car/home detection be based on the presence/absence of the tuner.

I can't wait to see how your prototypes come out!
