Default iMod.

I have wanted to get this done for as long as I have owned the car. So after some preliminary alpha testing, I believe I am on the cusp of getting something really special together.

MacMini. Friggen ingenious.

"FrontRow" is the perfect application for an in-car computer.

Everything runs off the supplied remote, bye-bye iPod.

Default Wow, that is awesome...

So basically you switch to TV mode which is displaying your Mac Mini ?
Nice...

Do you have the Video in Motion option on your RNS-E enabled ?

Default Dude.... I've wanted to do that since *before* I got the car.... looks great

...but the jealousy is killing me! ;-)

Email me, I've got a couple of ideas for it. You're lucky with the RNS for a display, so you don't have to engineer a way to mount a Xenarc touchscreen.

Well, actually I am sending my Nav down to Lanny at Euro-Parts at the beginning of the new year, and he will enable V-I-M for me. Thanks for the kind words too my man!
