2011 GSR Carputer
You really wouldn't be able to do it with a Mac since they don't have hibernate built-in and a car powersupply like that wouldn't easily hook up to a mac mini.
Though if you find a way around the power supply, you can either use the command: sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1
or use this widget:

+1.. it drives me crazy that after all these years making MP3 compatible head units, the best they can do is handle 10,000 songs at most from a USB device (and many can only manage 2,500). It's kinda sad that $1000+ head units that just came out this year still have less features than phones costing half as much.
Anyway, nice job on the PC.. what model is the tiny keyboard you found??

It's a Rii Mini. I bought it off amazon for like $21

So I decided to add my subs which gained me like 50 extra pounds... but anyway I used to have them connected on a line out converter from the rears, now I just connected them to the center/SW port of my sound card and they hit way harder than before.
Only problem I have now is my SW RCA to 3.5 is a little short and if the box slides in a curve..which it has done.. the rca gets pulled out.
I'm also going to rig up a cutoff switch for the ignition wire to the carputer and amp. I'm going to do this because I had an instance at a stop light where XP glitched on me and it sounded like I had a CD skipping, granted it only lasted 5 to 7 seconds but thats a long time with your windows down and people staring..

ive always wanted to do this except i was going to fabricate my screen where the passenger side airbag is in my evo8. your idea with the small wireless keyboard/touchpad is great though, i never thought about it.
Good Job overall!
