Will be navigating and watching DVDs among other things. Will post after i get her done.

Does this adapter provide for a video signal as well? If not, are you intending to use an XCarLink for the video? More info, please. This sounds interesting.

The above adapter will solely input purely digital sweet undistiorted (albeit compressed, oh sweet SACDs) sound, i will splice an old high quality RGB cable to link video like this:

Mini-DVI to HMDI adapter > ViewHD VHD-H2YVs (5v will get it from the Carnetix)> RGB to Xcarlink inputs.

This way i will have an extra HDMI port which i will extend with a male-female cable for that PlayStation or
whatever we need.

Wish me luck, at least the ViewHD is highly rated on Amazon and i doubt it will fail me.

Sxxx, with so much hardware i will be scratching my head to find locations for all components as i also have
a long range N wireless adapter i plan sticking into the center vent side by side with the GPS antenna.

I promised myself to keep it custom, with everything recessed in the dash (AMI and BT adapter will be hidden), and
the Mac Mini painted black in the single-DIN
slot along with the extra HDMI, USB port extension from Mac, and another USB from the Carnetix PSU (to allow
me tweaking the PSU with my Windows laptop via PowerMoni) neatly tucked in the little space to the right of the Mini,
fyi the fat Mac Mini (03-10 2009) is 6.5x6.5x2", all sorts of neat delays, and even battery
voltage based shutoffs can be programmed. A 5v fan will blow air into the glovebox via the holes at back of the shelf.

Right now i need to wait for everything to arrive, the rear cam install will be done with the Bosch ParkPilot acoustic parking,
just have an awful time finding Audi 0C0C paint to cover the sensors.

Unfortunately chronic insomnia with my job is a problem, but i promised myself to drive around with glovebox off if i have to,
i have not once botched installs d/t fatigue and desire to finish quickly.

Hey gurus, can i start the Xcarlink with this button mounted behing the E-Brake button, it is so cool and matching, i will use
it for the Mac Mini with the Y splicer to start it, the PSU will turn it off delayed after ignition off :
