updating the navigation data for my parents' in car gps

they tell you to go to a service place to do that but as it turns out you can just pull out a little module from the glove box and connect it to your pc via mini usb

it connects to the car using some weird card-edge connector

also on the inside there's a sticker saying it runs windows ce? i wonder how it works

like, does the box generate the video and send it to the car's dashboard? otherwise idk how much sense it'd make for the navi box to run its own OS...

@tom my dad has a pioneer aftermarket navigation/ multimedia thing that you can just boot into a Windows CE desktop by putting the right files on an SD card, I've always wanted to figure out Doom on it
