    If I were to NOT purchase the wireless display option but wanted it later on, would it be something that could easily be purchased and put into the M17x?



    Thanks a bunch!

    Chances are that the antenna wiring will not be there if you do that. Which would be a major pain to get and install, not to mention the card itself might cost a lot more if bought separately. I would recommend getting the $99 wireless card and then opt to get the Visio kit when you feel you need to complete your wireless setup.

    I am actually interested in setting this up now. What would I need to buy on my own to do this?
