Link: In-Car control for your Mac mini

I"m thoroughly contemplating installing a Mac mini in my van, just to see if I can. Maybe this fall I can do it. This front-end system seems to be a good step in the right direction.
That looks like a cool interface for an in-car Mini install. If I ever had enough money to get a 2nd Mini and a touch screen, I would go for a car install. Can you create your own interface as well?? Seems like it to me but I didn't feel like reading the whole site.
cool interface,
someone needs to work on a guide for installation, at least a general one and then we would see this explode

Try KisMAC http://binaervarianz.de/projekte/programmieren/kismac/screenshots.php.
You will be happy with all of its great features (accept for the hexley devil icon
-- I hope they will replace this soon).
1st place: thanks to everyone for the compliments.
What do you mean an installation guide? For the hardware?

LOL I can see it now, an app that speaks to you "Pull over here, I've got great signal!"stoid said:Get the Airport Extreme card installed, and you've got a perfect card for war-driving!
I'll be interested to see how the MacJeep turns out! If I had a £2k-£5k sitting around I'd definately do it to my car!
What I'd really love is totally dashboard integration, dunno how a touchscreen panel would look like in my little corsa! What I have right now is the standard Vauxhall integrated stereo system, with buttons to control volume and change tracks on the steering wheel.
"Total Integration" would mean being able to use a touch screen, but also being able to use the buttons on my steering whee.... Although I would be just as happy removing the entire centre console and replacing it with a touch-screen! Some funky GPS would be great too

same here, i know that i am clueless where to start with such a project, but am certianly interesting, a guide the explains what is needed, why, and where to look for said parts would be invaluable in helping people get started with projects like this
install guide:
even if it was just a map out of what is wired to what, and what components are needed.
a component list (shop at your own store)
and a basic wiring map
