Message	Don't you just plug a laptop in to retune? I was under the impression that the Zem didn't need to be connected to a computer full time to emulate. I've never liked the idea of a PC setup in a sports car. I can see it in a family car for a multimedia arrangement. But to me a car PC (especially one the car depends on to run) adds unnecessary complexity and weight to the equation.
