I just needed something cheap and fast to protect my stock carpets from getting too dirty. I don't have an Infiniti dealership locally (its on a different island) that I can buy all-weather mats from so when I was at Walmart one day, I saw these and said "what the heck".

I'am going for a set right now.

Great to hear from you again. I had a bunch of people asking for your pix of your DIY guides. When g35driver.com got updated, the links to the pictures in everyone's posts were lost. I think the admins were working on getting the posted pictures back.

Have you seen the new Mac Mini coming out in a few weeks? I have a contact at Apple and I'm trying to get one for the fun of it AT COST (1.42GHz, 80GB HD 128mb ATI 9200 MSRP $599). Will your navigation software run on MacOSX? With the Mac Mini being so small (6.5"x6.5"x2"), you could potentially mount it in the upper glovebox with the DIN adapter????? I'm so excited!

I think the new mini mac is killer, cheap, small, and the hardware is certainly good enough to run the software. It has alot of qualities of a good carputer.

If it came out a year or two ago I probably would of even considred a port, but the software is currently written for a microsoft platform, and another big problem is the same reason why windows was choosen over linux, theres just not a very large support framework in place compared to windows. Getting mac specific hardware as well as software components for niche products like radio, XM radio, Navigation, remote controls, etc, although certainly possible, is more difficult and sometimes much more expensive.

I think it will be great when the PC based clones of the mini macs come out though I just discovered the IWill ZPC today and it gets pretty damn close for power and size, but is still in a whole other class compared to the 6x6x2 mini mac.

what about the indashpc.org product that was posted earlier? Worth it?

It uses a EPIA which means a slow processor and no 3D hardware.

It runs off of linux which means limited software and hardware support and there are no complete navigation packages for linux.
