COMAND programming? API? Reference?

Hi everyone,

This might seem a bit crazy, but I'm looking for a programmer's reference book for COMAND 2.0

I am toying with some ideas but I have no idea where to look for a refernce book.

Does anyone have any clues as to where I could go for informaiton?

Thank you.

Thank you.

BMW must release or have had there API released which is why we see so much integration with there system. I'll tell you I would love to see a stealth-one for the comand unit, at one time I was speaking with some guys in NJ who said they almost had it working; I think I need to give them a call and see whats up.

Comand is running linux !

The CPU is made by AXIS and is based on the ETRAX MCM
Have a look here:

Pay attention to the CPU access points (pads) on the underside of comand.
They are under the holes on the bottom metalic plate.
