We’ve certainly seen no shortage of iPod and Mac mods in all types of devices, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say this one tops them all. Autoblog has a report of one man from Virginia who mated his Prius with a Mac mini, and the picture to the right tells all.
The Mac Mini sits inside the dashboard, where one would usually store kleenex and gum, and is wired into the LCD display already a part of the car, but he didn’t stop there. This man also reprogrammed the touchscreen LCD to accept navigation commands for Front Row. His entire music collection is easily accessible from a few touches of his finger, and his young daughter can view DVDs on the setup as well. If this story intrigues you, then be sure to check out the video on the designer’s website.
