Project GTO - 2006 Torrid Red Pontiac GTO - MacMini Carputer - Streetdeck
Just wanted to start my worklog on my carputer install procedure. This install was a group effort to make this carputer both very functional and look as close to stock as can be. I didnt want to have wires and such hanging everywhere, and I didnt even want the stereo to scream (I am a geek and let it be known that a geek's stereo lives here), not that I am saying others do. Just that I didnt want to attract attention to a costly stereo either.
I chose the following components for my build:
1.6 Mac Mini Core Duo (Windows XP Pro)
Lilliput 7 Inch in-dash screen (VGA/TV Tuner built in/Radio (50X4)/Rear Camera/Dual RCA in)
Seidio 4200M Phone mount
Seidio 2010 Bluetooth GPS
Streetdeck (Front end software)
Bytecc Hard Drive ATA/USB adapter
Carnetix P1900 power supply (with Mac Mini wire adapter)
Custom front panel (fabricated)
misc odds and ends
Here is a quick shot teaser of some test fitting till I can finish my worklog and project... Very happy with the project so far. Should be done in the next two weeks for those interested...
