Thread: Hyundai Genesis Apple Mac book / air / mini explosion

I think it is in part laziness. They understand that Car PCs are not well known. So to someone like my Mom or Dad or people not into the hobby, they wouldn't know or understand that there is a better solution to what Hyundai did. They will simply think, oh look that car has a Mac in it, but no other car here does, so that must make it better. They would probably be even more shocked if they saw any of our cars. I guarantee most of the Mp3Car Forum members make that setup look like cr@p. On the other note, maybe Hyundai does know that there is a better solution but they don't have the personal, time or money to invest in a pure integrated system. In a few years car companies will have no choice but to start integrating, especially when they see that people are holding onto their cars and installing better equipment then the new cars their rolling off the assembly line (no profits).

PS: why does the Genesis look so similar to the BMW 5 series? Hyundai loves coping other car companies!

Most people don't know there's a better way and don't appreciate the extra effort to do it properly. They literally don't know what they are missing, so I think most installers either don't know either or skip the effort.

I disagree.... It not illegal because this is a new field and there are no set guide lines as per say. We are basically writing the rule book. We do know that Hyundai's method is flawed though. I agree with bugbyte though, I said the same thing, just in a complicated way, lol.... I think one of the only companies that seems to have some intrest seems to be VW, didnt they have a contest or something like that on these forums?

I think biggkatt was referring to the our in-dash monitors that allow video to be played while the vehicle is in motion. That is in fact illegal. That's why car DVD players (whether flip-up or double din) require a manual override switch in order to watch a DVD while in motion. I could be wrong, though.

Well he said illegal by concept..... that also depends on the setup. Me being the law abiding citizen that I am, designed my car to be legal. The main screen only shows me things relative to driving the car, like NAV, OBD2, weather, and control of the music, HD radio and XM. Everything else is only played through the dash top screens and the rear screen. All the driver has to do is keep his screen flipped down.
