i was thinking about doing something like that in my car with na old comp and itunes.

For power you'd need to either turn it on and off with the car, or wire it to constant but i'm sure that would kill your battery fast.

AMAZING! With are the cars you guys own, and assuming you customized those in some way, you still ask how to put in a simple appliance? I guess I now see the point of not jackin-around and just have some one else do it for you...

I stopped screwing up my cars trying to work on them myself about 20 years ago.......
I for one am not out to be the first guy to install his own MacMini in his Supra, just maybe one of the first ones to have it work right with the applications I've planned for it. And if theres 1 thing I know better than trying myself, it's installing audio, computer and electronic equipment in THE CARS I OWN....
Shees, I cn barely type ths rply............

i say get a bluetooth gps receiver and since mini mac can do bluetooth you go from there...

Will- I hear you. I guess after 25 years I am really tired of shoddy work I received because I could afford to go outside with soemthing like this. Instead, and after many complaints from the wife, I do the work once and spread it out over several weekends and all is well.
