LMK,
Was talking to Bugaboo yesterday at the meetup and was told that your ride is equipped wiht MacMini. Seriously considering similar setup; I think it is really cool. Can you please advice what is needed, where to buy, and where to install? By the way, do you have TV Mobile like Bugaboo?

Cheers,

depending on what you need, i use virtual pc because i need it for my GPS software which is only available in windows format. there is no MAc GPS software so far.
then, of course the GPS software.
that is about it, MAc OSX has everything from internet to DVD player like windows and is easier to use in a car. click and go.

Hi DY56,
to do gps on the screen, you need the
video interface
mac mini
virtual pc software
bluetooth gps adaptor
mapking or some sort of map software
of course with the mac mini you also get
video (dvd and play video files)
itunes (mp3)
you have to consider how you want to control all this. better check out lmk's setup first hand. know what you're getting into.
personally, i'm not into having a mouse and keyboard in the car, thats why i'm not getting a mac mini yet.

Hi Bugaboo,
Your system can only watch tv and dvd right, so you only need the video interface, tv module and dvd player?
Thanks...
