mac prius... possible on is?
http://www.kusnetz.net/prius/
this is what i've been wanting to do since i got my car.. find a way to have apple's front row running on the nav screen.. i was waiting for the new mac mini's to try and find a way.. anyone know if this would work on the is nav? or does this only work because of the hybrid computer on the prius? i'm not too good at this stuff, i just know that i want it!!!!

From the article "The first thing I needed was video in."
If you can discover a video-in[put] on the ML Nav, then it can be done. Macmini with Front Row is a hack now and no a guarantee in the future. The new macmini might not be out for a long, long time either.
I'm working on installing the old macmini in my IS using a touchscreen.....this is a huge project I'm not even sure I want to try it (is it worth it?)

There are plenty of good run throughs for a car based computer on mp3car.com
I ran a voice activated 1 ghz PIII under the seat of my matrix for about a year that handled mp3, movie, nav, weather updates, etc. Worked pretty well except I needed a way to cut the sound when you wanted to use voice commands... I kept having lyrics in the songs that were too close to commands doing random things like going to the web, the weather, or skipping songs. Fun project though.
