The Mac is in the center console. I'll snap some shots as soon as I get the DVI-VGA adapter I ordered as right now it looks pretty messy...
BTW, I didn't want to say anything without his permission, but HUGE props to turbocad6 for the fabrication on this install - he took a few random pieces I sent and sent me back this factory-looking bezel. His work is top notch! Thanks, turbocad6!
Sweet RidgieMac!
Nice Install!
What are you using as a frontend? I see "Coverflow" on your screen

Finally Installed!!
Everything is in the car and working.
I painted the cilpboard mount and it looks good.
Shutdown/Startup is working excellent!

Yep, it looks just like my "front end" ... if we can call iTunes a frontend (I do). FrontRow seems to be a favorite, but I like the large album art and touchscreen-readiness (but not necessarily the touchscreen-unfriendliness) of iTunes .Originally Posted by we87
All these Mac Front End corpses in the MP3Car graveyard is depressing. If I ever decide to go with a "real" front end, I'll probably choose Road Runner. I'm tired of getting excited over the newest prospect, only to get heartbroken. Call me when the latest Mac front end is completed!

you could always help build the next front end for mac.....that may be asking too much I guess
My life is too short and my time is too valuable. I wouldn't recommend anyone waste their time on a Mac front end. The three choices are: FrontRow (& BackRow), iTunes, & RoadRunner (with VMWare Fusion, you can pretend it's a true Mac front end).
If someone really wants to take on the project, figure out a way to co-opt iTunes and use it as your starting point. Apple has spent millions developing it. With a few changes it could be even better.
That is one awesome installation! Congrats!
Sorry for not posting more often and just lurking... but for a Honda with Mac I have to post to say congrats !!!!! This is amazing.
Thanks for the kind words - I love it!
great work. it looks awesome.
will you be posting more photos of the install?
