Coding Objects

Well, as said long ago, I am writing my own program to control the computer placed in my car. It is written almost exclusively in vb.net with a few classes written in C#. I am very object oriented in my coding style. Everything is represented by string objects that wrap the waned functionality into an easy to use object. Here I will discuss a few of the classes and how they are designed.
The following is the layout for my description:
