I was researching the cubby touchscreen + carpc threads, and I was also looking to get a new phone. I thought to myself the new Motorola Photon that comes out at the end of the month has docking features. Mainly you can connect a mouse, monitor and keyboard to the photon basically making it a little computer. My original option was to do the touchscreen in cubby and run wires to a carpc from mp3car in trunk. From there I would connect GPS, wireless card, bluetooth, and whatever. But then I thought with this phone I wouldnt need to do all that. Rather than tether my phone to the carpc for gps and what not, I could just run the phone straight to monitor and just use the phone as the computer. Its simpler and less prone to theft because when you leave the car you take your phone. The main things I need from the carputer are , music, navigation, bluetooth and internet. The phone will cut costs cause I plan to get it regardless but it would also do all the jobs of the carputer. no software needed. Then I realized it runs on android and I would need android software to get my ecu tunes. So I made this thread to get some more input about how I could work the ecu into the phone. When the phone comes out and I get my hands on one I will add more information in a better write up. If I can get my vag-com cable to work with the phone and some android flash software for logging and whatever we would be set. Then I figured you only flash the ecu so many times so maybe its not neccessary for the phone to take care of it. Let me know what you guys think about this idea!?!?!?! I might be onto something.
