I have used RaceChrono. It is free software that runs on Nokia's phones (S60 based) and uses either internal or external GPS.

No need external gps antenna if you mounted on windshield. Except you want to mount somewhere that NLOS(non-line of sight) to satellite.

I have the performance box and have it located in some foam in the boot (trunk) and an external GPS antenna in the rear window.

I have also just recieved an email from vbox about a new product which sounds interesting...
