Here is a size comparison of the Mac Mini in relation to the Stock CD Changer which is a standard DIN sized unit. I will be putting the mac in its place and extending the changer to the glove box since I will not be using it that much.
The final photo is the mac actually sitting on top of the CD changer and the footprint is almost identical.
I got the touchscreen and power supply today and everything looks relatively easy to install tomorrow. Touchscreen software installed onto the computer and its good to go. Now the fun begins...the cool thing I noticed is the Carnetix power supply is now completely "Plug and Play" if you get the Mac Pac connecting cables and it even comes with a remote switch turn-on cable so I had to open up the mini to install the Y cable which literally took 2 minutes (it was harder getting the thing opened than to install it). Then there is a direct power cable which require absolutely no splicing or even cutting of the mac mini power supply so now I have one for when I use the computer in the house. I finished fabricating the mount for the mini and just waiting on the paint to dry and I'm installing velcro to the bottom to keep the computer from moving around although its pretty tight along the sides since I added some foam padding. More pics will be out real soon.
Comment please
