Its removable in 2 seconds (slides into a clip that is clipped around the trim peice, not the vent.. its very secure), and also has wifi, bluetooth, gps, and of course its all touchscreen...

heres a couple shots of the autometer nexus boost gauge that i had in my S4. its very nifty, it can change to a bunch of colors and it has an orange that matches our interiors perfectly. the only downside is its pricey but if you wanna spend some cash id highly reccommend this gauge.

Nice. Which route did you wire the USB? Can you connect the PC to car stereo? Do you power the PC from the car bettery or rely on the PC battery? Thanks

headphone out goes to line in on stereo... sounds great. I dont have a permanent usb wire yet, I power the unit from the plug under the armrest. The audio and power wires tuck under the trim peices on their way from the armrest to the dash... nothing fancy yet...

I had the autometer nexus setup on my m3

It's very expensive. Even if you get 1 gauge you have to buy the remote control/control unit which is another $250.

Also, is it just me or does it look like the air vent slats aren't straight?
