Advice please on what i should do

[godskitchen 0]

I am really just after some advice really, I want to upgrade my ICE system

Currently running a Sony MP3 H/U and 10 disc changer

 

This is ideally what I would like to do…………. Put a “Mini Mac” in the glove box

1.4GHz PowerPC G4

512MB DDR333 SDRAM

80GB Ultra ATA hard drive

Combo drive

DVI or VGA video output

AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth Card

Cost £519

Add to this a 7” touch screen for about £160

The sound would run through the current Head Unit

This option gives me DVD/80GB worth of MP3’s/AVI – internet connection through a Bluetooth phone/WiFi hotspots, also I am sure there will be something I can do in the line of SAT-NAV with this.

Also it would be fully voice controlled!!!!!

I would fit it all myself so the total cost would be around £700

 

Option 2 is to just stick a head unit in with SAT-NAV/DVD/TV/MP3 like the Pioneer: AVIC-X1

 

What do you think? Can any of you see any problems with the “Mini Mac” idea?

I like those mini Macs, would be nice to see one installed in a car!

 

You could also run VAG-COM permanently when Ross Tech get round to doing a mac version.

 

The AVIC is over a grand's worth and thieves will spot it. I played around with one recently and they are an awesome bit of kit though.

 

The mini mac shouldn't present any problems in a car, you'll need an inverter to run it though.
