It's probably just as cheap as you guys are going to spend on a refurb, has a solid state drive so vibrations won't affect it, and it's so small that you would probably only need a Velcro strap to secure it to your center console. I know that this is the route that I'm going to go.

Just figured that I'd throw my opinion out there.....
That's a very interesting option. I wonder if the memory can be expanded by much? Very nice option indeedy!
