Default Will the Mac Mini be able to work with your EXISTING NAV?

I just want to know if this can be done since its not a touch screen. I'm talking about the NAV that comes with my 06' ZR. I don't mind having a wireless keyboard and mice. Has anyone done this yet? Thanks!

as soon as i get my z, my mac mini is going in. I highly suggest you spend the 250 bucks and get a touch screen. Its worth it.

Ive been thinking of putting a mac mini in the parcel cubby, but there is one major problem... the power button is on the back. Any ideas??

Also, what touchscreen would be best to use on with a mac? DVI!

You can should use a carnetix DC to DC regulated power supply. Raed the info on their web site. I did alot of research and this is def what you want to use. You will never even need to touch that button.

This is what I bought. I paid $200 including shipping. I have not installed it yet, but this should do the job for you.

Actually, you can remove and reroute the power button, thats my plan at least. im going to mount it behind the passenger seat cubby and reroute it and use the liliput touchscreen using the dvi to component adaptor and usb imput for the touchscreen. Seen it done in a GTI and it looks amazing.
