One other VERY Interesting and usable 'thing' I'dd like to add was FMcarKit. But the developer has never answerd me and the source code is not available. I do have an earlier source code versions but I can't tell if they are the working ones.
I aslo tryed to overcome the 8 Char limitation on the RDS Station name by "tickering" the strings sent do RDS, unfortunantly my python threads knowllege was not that good (but it works in theory).
