actually for me i have a pda phone and an extra laptop, for me to get the sound into the speaker is secondary. getting the electricity to charge my pda and touch screen comes 1st.
i would only want a touch screen with usb so i can go internet of wacth movie in my car when i connect my pda to it. i think and hope these kinda touch screen mnitor will be available in the near future in malaysia. USA is selling them for US$300+ though.

Hi Bros,
I just booked a RX8 6-Speed today. I will test drive it tomorrow before I decide on getting it. Can you please give me some pointers on what I should check on the car especially on the engine part? it says 4K on the meter, I really doubt that's true since it's a 2003 model. But the outlook of the engine sound and the engine comparement looks news to me..:-) .
Appreciate your feedback. Thanks....

I bought my 2003 with 3000 km on odometer. The interior and engine compartment also looks almost new. You might've gotten one off a very careful owner who rarely drives it. I was told that the digital odometer is impossible to be tampered with, but that could've very well be the salesman's pitch
As to what you should look out for, nothing that differs from test driving other cars. The usual... engine sound, electronics, absorbers, tyres etc.
Good luck.

Should I change it to Mineral or Full Syn? I know this is a hot debate here. :-). and also, what Alarm system is best in the market now for the car?

Hey Bro..
Yes, I found the specs I wanted, finally. I will do more check tomorrow once I get to test the car. So far, the car does gives me a brand new feel to it as I have seen 10 over RX8 for the last 2 weeks. So I hope the 4K on the odo is real. That's why I didn't hesistate and book it immediately..:-).
More questions, do you guys have a regular service center for rotary engines? Can you recommend me. If you guys are planning for TT session, count me in.

Also remember to:
1) Check on any engine vibration when idling.
2) No Fog inside head lights, tail lights and indicator lights.
3) IMS kit is inside the car boot (Tyre puncture repair kit)
