4. GPS dongle...

I initially thought about running the pc in the glovebox, but considering I'd need to run things wireless, this would be useless as you'd want to have the glovebox closed (well not resting on your knees), so looks like under the passenger seat it is...and just run the wires up under the centre console!
From memory there are 6 usb ports - 2 on the front and 4 on the rear of these mini pc's but there is always the option of a usb hub for more.

For the internet I am going to use my phone via either bluetooth or via usb.
I dont see the need for another bill.
I have unused quota on my phone already.
