UPDATE - MAC MINI INSTALLED..

Came across several issues... the mac is running fine..just having audio issues with amps and speakers..nothing to do with the computer.

The computer is powering all audio components though...

Here is the rundown:

7" touchscreen - Lilliput 629
AM/FM Tuner - Radio Shark
MP3 - iTunes
DVD - Apple DVD player
All other video - Quicktime Pro... (WMV/MP4/AVI..etc...)
GPS - GlobalSAt/BU353 - ROUTE 66 (Switched from garmin.. )

future upgrades - OBD II diagnostics set up...

i'll be posting pixs soon as weather permits..(outdoor shots)...

SUPER THANKS to Rising_Sun....todd your the man..owe you big time...
