MeeGo (Nokia) launched such a distro. Its basically a platform for developing mobile/notebook apps to run on ARM. See <a href="http://meego.com/downloads/releases/in-vehicle">http://meego.com/downloads/releases/in-vehicle</a><br>

It would be wise to know the underlying (maybe EEPROM) chip: ARM, PIC, Motorola,etc and the board supporting it.<div>With the right reprogramming software, I&#39;m sure its possible.</div><div>But rather than &quot;hacking&quot;, get an <span style="font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(47, 47, 47); line-height: 19px;">ARM11 MPCore....then you can do all fancy stuff with it...I&#39;m sure there&#39;s an embedded linux distro that supports it...</span></div>

Are the embedded In-dash GUI systems (we get them in Japanese, for<br>
X-Japan imports) reprogrammable? Can we be able to reuse the hardware<br>
by flashing out the automotive OEMs(in Japanese) and installing an<br>
embedded Linux solution(made in Kenya using available opensource UI<br>
toolkits) providing readable applications(in English and Swahili) and<br>
depending with its capabilities provide Navigation applications,<br>
entertainment, wireless telephony, Internet connectivity, remote<br>
productivity, and other in-car applications? - a in-dash GUI system<br>
with built-in bluetooth can provide an interesting array services by<br>
dialling into the internet using your bluetooth enabled phone.<br>
