Thank you for the compliments. I had the car for only a few months when I started that project. I've been working with electronics and computers forever. That was my first Apple product, lol. It's an early 06 model that held up strong in a Black on Black car in So. Cal. I've upgraded the CPU, RAM, and Hard Drive several times. Not because something broke, but because I wanted more, lol. I wish the F80 had a video input, but from what I've heard it doesn't. I don't know if I'll be able to figure out a way to make it work in this car.

I might make it a rear seat only setup for the kids... I can make a switch for the rear speakers so it'll be the computer when they are in the car or the radio when it's just me... That would be pretty slick.

If you do decide to put a computer in a car, make sure you put a SSD in it. Hard Drives work, but they don't like the heat and bumpy roads can sometimes make them skip.
