no special hardware needed, you dont need a compact flash card for ewf. i havent used either enough to help, but i can only suggest heading over to www.mp3car.com signing up and searching for them. lots of info there. it certainly helped me out.

Yeah, sorry missed this thread for a while.

To find out how to setup ewf and horm, go to mp3car.com theirs heaps of tutes their.

But the purpose of it is, i could be in the middle of playing a song or movie and just switch my car off.

The power cuts to the computer complety and shuts it off in the middle of any process. In a normal computer application this would be bad, causing a whole lot of errors.

But with EWF and horm, when I turn the car on, it boots straight back up into my media plyer within a few seconds.

You never have to shut down the computer or boot it up.

So it behaves just like one of the 2grand touchscreens media centers from alpine, but a whole lot better :)
