I just picked up a 07 alloy Mustang GT..

I would love to do this same thing..

I am thinking of getting the mini mac.. mainly due to the size.. and I plan to get the new iPhone ..

With the set up that you have.. do you have any kind of radio ..?

My car came with a factory Sirius radio module.. could I use that for radio ..?

Ready to get this show on the road. But after reading alot of things here on the site, I'm not sure the path to take. Im an IT guy, so the idea of getting pieces from scratch doesn't really bother me. However, I would imagine it might be nicer (and possibly cheaper), to create the PC and store it remote to the Dash, then just run cables to the dash for video and sound to the speakers. I want some pretty specific things such as Surround sound capability and Wireless networking too. I would also imagine it would be better to store it remotely because of access issues. I love to tinker with sthings, so i can imagine i would always want to try another front end ro something.

Was just looking for some opinions about how proacticle it might be to build the PC and stroer it in a custome enclosure in the trunk and go from there. How much would that video signal suffer from that trip to the front?

Nice and clean install!

Nice work on the install. I've started my own install:

Along with a new front end:

I have a few questions:

How is your hardware wired?

Did you use 12v from the harness or somewhere else?
How did you power the screen?
How did you hook up the speakers?

I have a few ideas on how wire the hardware, but this is my first install and I need some vet experience.

I finally added a microphone and updated the hard drive size to a Seagate 320 GB. I am still planning on adding some additional monitors to the trunk lid. I am hoping to pick up some of those new USB power 7" touchscreens that are fairly cheap. I will get some updated pics when I do a thorough cleaning of the car.
