This
is the best Mac-mini-in-a-car setup I've seen, and
we've seen quite a few of them here at TUAW. This guy went all out in his setup, putting the following into his 2005
Jeep Grand Cherokee.- Mac mini
- Xenarc 700 TSV
- Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse
- BU-353 USB GPS
- Carnetix P1900 and P5V adapter
- RadioShark USB
- PowerMate
- 2 Hubs
- GPS mapping via Route 66 and RoadNav...
- Salling Clicker on Treo 650 for controlling Mac through phone...
- Bluetooth DUN over Treo for Internet access.
The pictures are amazing. I don't even own a car and I'm excited at how awesome this is. Well done!

This is a very professional job with enough attention paid to details. I think the biggest obsticle in such projects is mounting the display on the dash nicely.
I once tried to do this and it turned into a big mess. Removed everything before permanent damage to my truck.
Many new cars just don't have the room for a display- it's a shame.
This Jeep guy (hey, where are you, what's your name?) should publish his experiences in one document, with all pictures, problems, etc...
Congrats!

Amazing!!!! I have been planning on doing this to an Excursion in the near future! I finally found a professionaly example!! GREAT GREAT GREAT - someone send this to Apple's Mac Mini Page (I know I know they won't show it cause of the FrontRow, but maybe they'll take a hint!) Great!
