Yeah, I'm really tempted to go with that approach. I've got the S60 I can "borrow" parts from to help troubleshoot...The antenna ring seems quite easy to take off. I should also be able to swap battery with the S60 very easily.

The only real curve ball is that I would REALLY like to plug VIDA/DICE into the vehicle before committing to buying just in case there are other things I need to keep in mind as part of price.
