What I meant by off the shelf was the processor and related chip sets, it would be in essence a custom PC in a DIN case with the extra unneeded crap omitted.
Just wanted to point out that this is exactly what someone named Hugo Fiennes wanted to do a little while back. He was successful in his efforts. The result was the Empeg.
I'm not certain that you'd be able to pull it off for any cheaper than he did. But if you can, why try to match the empeg metalwork? You'd be talking about your own new car player with your own new hardware and software.
Remember that there are only about 4,000 empegs in existence, and probably significantly fewer active empeg owners than that number. And even fewer who would want a plug-in replacement. Trying to create a mass-produced item that appeals to so few people is going to be a money-losing proposition, I'd think.
