Molded-in Touchscreen IN DASH MAC MINI 10.2" Monitor Win7 OSX - Tahoe System Rebuild Video 45

[ElWetto]

could you use just the mac mini/touch screen as a deck instead of using a head unit too? if you had amplifiers powering all of your speakers?

[Wayblazed420]

watch now that you got rid of on star you are gonna need it :p

[Rhett150]

Where do you get all the dashboards ?

[HeIIToAll]

i wonder what no car thief is gonna think when they see all that.

[dhaliwal386]

What screen did you use?

[LopezX3SurX3]

You Are Awesome Dude

[Ceewoo88]

Song at the end call: "Gettin' It" by Too Short

[ComedyPoet]

@meade916 how do u use internet on ur Mac Mini when ur some place other than ur house or if theres no wifi ? did u buy a wireless card or something? Cause im currently doing this to my car too but i dont see a point in doing it if i cant bring internet with me for GPS purposes or other things. If theres a way u can bring the interent with u let me know

[cheboogie17]

not tryna be funny but what the point of the imac for if your still using a 60 gig ipod, head unit and blue toothing your phone

[Benzinhead]

@cheboogie17 Obviously he has nothing better to do.

[megarudy23]

What is the last song in the end?? Keep it up dude! So sick!

[megarudy23]

Whats that song in the end??

[henryloco11]

how do u put on ur air conditoning ? aha

[BassHead3937]

@henryloco11

the controls are in the center console.

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

I'm just wandering, with that Mac Mini, did you keep the standard sound card or did you change it?

[marcosdboy7]

I'm bout to do this right now I have a 10" flip dwn run that to my 7" Panasonic head unit then find a comp wire that coverts to audio video wires I have a 12 volt inverter will that work for now what did you use to power an my screen isn't a touch screen isn't a touch but that shouldn't be a problem

[devo85x]

I want to do this but I can't find a place to mount the screen. I was looking for a 1 DIN headunit with a PC input but I can't find one anywhere :( guess I'm stuck with a shitty normal headunit :(

[DJTightSHYTZ]

Dude your now known as the car master

[qqbiderman]

dude your a fucking genius, i wish i knew how to do that to my truck!!!

[alicat19]

This is awesome. I am searching for something similar for a Nissan Xterra. Does your system has gps capabilities as well?

[turboboy0]

lmao. my rottie howls at sirens too. she even gets the 2 stupid cockers to join in.

[ARedAProduction]

Dat install lookz Ball'n, but i;m wonderin why didn't you use fiberglass instead of 2part?

[goonfrombokey]

can you send me a link to where i can get the mac mini that u have

[Ahkomaton]

Hey Steve! What touch screen did you install and how exactly did you hook the Mac Mini to the touch screen?

[reallyhughish]

Driving along the road with your video camera messing about with your mac? Intelligence!

[blahethanblah]

Wow. honestly, i never knew how to do something like that before. Thanks Steve for showing me a thing or two in your videos :)

[mcarson812]

[mtbman17]

[smokndrew]

[juantwo]

Just curious if there was a reason you ran windows on it.... Is it a compatibility issue or personal preference?

[cmoneyTHEhitmaker]

man! i wish i had da time and money to fix up my tahoe

[wilsonhill12]

loving the Road Warrior at 4:00

[chocolate632]

It must be a pain in the ass to hold the camera and do that at the same time :D

[BlackMambaUno]

sweet steve. sweet. can't wait to c what u would do with an ipad

[aerodicus]

This setup with street nav software and a GlobalSat BU-353 USB GPS receiver kicks ass! They also work great on the water, with chart plotter software like GPS NAVX.

[49erSacraKing916]

where did you relocate the hvac controls?

[regguknow5]

what head unit do u have?

[tttrrroooyyy]

can you do the same thing with a itouch?

itouch to touch monitor. itouch for music, google maps and video and touch monitor for viewing controlling and video in. (dvd and backup camera)

basically can you pair a itouch to a touch monitor that can control it? anyone?

[audiobahn198]

Meade, You are the man!! Ive watched a lot of ur vids, from bass vids to fiberglassing and everything. Your website has everything to help do it all. Thanks so much for posting all these vids to help people like me better understand how to do these things. Its my hobby and I love learning it and doing it. Again man, you are the MAN, my IDOL. Give me some pointers if you can. If you ever come to Maine, please email and let me know. Thanks..

[Ahkomaton]

How did u hook up your music with the mac mini???

[xiJTAG]

Hey steve as i watched this vid for the 2nd time i noticed somthing pretty funny.

Its that you super glued the monitor frame in then you had to take it out then glue in the exact same spot again.. LOL PLZ reply if im wrong

[walkingfreak]

You have no done any tuning in this video yet your rockford proccessors are working and cleaning out your music and all that shit haha unless im incorrect

[mike7743]

don't see the point of having both your itunes and ipod running but excellent job nonetheless. dope music choices as well.

[misteriousstrangers]

Where did you get the touch screen monitor?

[maxp8ntballer]

nice. what screen is that? and do u like it?

[hardcoredegree]

you got real skills brotha.

[jagraj7870]

in my opinion i would say this is the best feature in ur truck, this stands out to me, and its something no one would really do.

Keep up the great work man

[akswagga2010]

sweet ill keep mark of this man just ey a question was it a must for u to remove the AC controls ? i mean is it really that cold in ur place :P im j/w

[metalmayeaux]

How do you get A/C and heat with those vents gone?

[ItsRyanStudios]

how expensive is it to mold something like that screen in. I'm just curious because I'm putting a q1 ultra in my car.

thanks

[nopachucoel]

r u a drug dealer or win the lotto or wtf u do 2 get money 4 dis shit

[eyeAMtwinkEE]

That's the USB hub that comes with the Xbox360 version of Rock Band. Haha.

[Lbarkum]

Dude, you are a fucking genius!!!!!!!

[Chemmmn]

Wow That's awesome.

[94217mp]

i would pay you do do some shit like this.

[b15nismospecv]

Hey steve i love ur work and how everything is not just all show but its for everyday use like the mini mac, i was just curious that polyurethane stuff why r u using that instead of like bondo, and where can i get some? what would be the big differences and price difference

[jeep734]

this helped so much, thank you

[Jorbazz]

Nice work :) Im starting on a in-dash linux project soon and wasnt sure what to do to fit the 7" touchscreen to the dash. I think im going to learn this :) Thanks for the inspiration :) +Like

[chad21boss]

[flowsosick449]

@chad21boss gett it by too short

[pantytheif]

you sir a truley gifted indivigual.....i wash i had your abilities

[voyagervan92]

Hey man i keep wondering where did you relocate your climate controls too? or is there a video of that?

[lovegod1972]

That is a wicked nice setup steve WOW! Do you have to have mac mini to run a pc in a car? i have to do this with my project. since im on a economic budget.....LOL it will have to come together piece by piece. Keep rocking dude

[cripoutloc]

TOO SHORT GETTIN IT :) REAL MUSIC

[andrehellm13]

your too cool meade! i dig your tahoe! can someone just go to your shop and have a listen? it would be really cool! nice shop btw. seen your old vids a year ago it was still in a garage. :)

[newmoney515]

that is mad hard brah

[DubRighteous]

if you play a youtube video on your iphone would it be played on the head unit?

[turbotrizzle8501]

what kind of monitor are you using trying to get this done in my truck

[eblocker1016]

did you paint it with regular can spray or is it professionally done?

[zclowrider]

so badass!

[jennchris55]

damn bro that came out super clean having a computer in your car damn mann thats crazy! good shit man

[joskaprdulja]

man really great work! well done!

[sacrichboy]

Is the phone hooked up to bluetooth with the deck or the computer? and is that the Pioneer 7100Bt or the 6100?

[ajsmoke]

steven can u list the things connected to the head unit mac mini power supply and etc ? and where u got em from ? i wanna get it but cant seem to find off where

[sublimationman]

Very nice job. I rewire classic cars, might have to talk someone into that next time I do one.

[RocketMuffinThing]

wow, what happens if he gets in a crash or something, car fire, i dunno, but that would suck! nice set-up though!!

[joemacgames1]

Where are your A/C controls now? lol

[kalealmighty]

what brand is that screen?

[loganbyers07]

It is a xenerac 1020TSV

[rodneyj14]

yo might do the same shit to the Scion tC bro!! question though. how do you play the music from the mac mini? do you play that through the bluetooth also?

[jajunaboi]

Mad props for the mini mac project. So baller, thats the sickest set up ive seen in a car period.

[Mikehawk187]

why did u put windows os?

[PanEnigmato]

what songs is that ? 6:10 - 6:30

[DDarkulic121]

why do you make evertthinhg look so easy

[superdan50]

I love the set up, awesome job!! i do have 1 question why have a mac mini and a head unit? if you have a mac with itunes why have an ipod too?

the reason i ask is i want to do something similar except i want to completely eliminate the head unit if possible. and use the mac to run audio/video, and a stand alone ecu (in-car tuning), and possibly the HVAC.

i just wanna make sure im not missing something.

and again sick setup, great job.

[gatorgravy08]

@superdan50 do yall go to skewl for this kind of stuff? bc i wanna learn how to do it, buht idk where to start...

[superdan50]

i havent gone to school for it. fortunately when i was in high school i had access to a lot of the materials for free and i was always ahead in class so i got to do body work on my friends cars as well as my own so i got quite a bit of practice with a couple types of body fillers which is nice. and i lot of diy and how to's and even tv shows to be comfortable with fiberglass. im good enough for what i need.

you cant have to much practice or patients. the best part of body fillers are forgiving

[superdan50]

If you sand too much add more, if you add to much sand more. as you get more experience you get more accurate with your application and the easier it will be.

i think the most important part is that you enjoy doing it. if you dont like it you wont ever get good at it. and if you do really like it then even the learning process is enjoyable.

if you find yourself getting frustrated take a break, i assure you it wont be as easy as it seemed in this vid. just remember practice makes perfect.

[reiksdam]

The interwebzzz can teach you anything you let it..

[chadmain]

hey,

how good do you consider the sound quality is for you on the iPhone? would you recommend it for playing music off? it's a pain to be burnin cd's all the time.

[mistasage]

that's a sick setup man. great job!!

can't wait to build my carputer =P

how's the start up time with the mac mini?

[PoundSighEL]

that is totally a Rockband USB hub.. LOL

[bigshot2121]

where did u get ur computer i looked all over the internet and couldnt find it i would like to put one in my car but idk where they are at

[jezzy803]

how much did that touch screen cost??

[cripoutloc]

i found a car indash touch screen 12 inch on the net its made by xenarc the model is Xenarc 1200TS 12-Inch Car LCD TV / Touch Screen Monitor seems pretty reasonable

[meade916]

your looking at something you will never be able to afford and you call it ghetto? What does "Get Job!!" mean? I think someone needs to "Get school" LOL DOUCHE.

[cripoutloc]

is the quality of bluetooth better than running an aux cable

[infamouskilla21]

how is he ghetto first of all? second get laid

[jojothejew]

how is this shit ghetto its like one of the most cleanly done cars ive seen and his shit it legit you wish you could affod his shit you probably cant even afford my system you fuck so dont be hatin on someone cause youll never get what they have

[shigalbigal]

@javaxsqft He's got a job... he can afford those "ghetto toys", you can't thats why everytime he passes by the highway he sees some old dude fuckin your ass, so you could pay your internet and hate on people...

[ItsRyanStudios]

@javaxsqft how is this gay? and a "scummy ghetto boy" couldn't afford something like this.

[QuestioningAnswers]

@javaxsqft he actually has two jobs and makes money on youtube so..

[vtwinbreed]

I think the painted dash kinda looks shitty, but to each their own. I'll give you credit though, still good concept and effort.

[meade916]

it was retextured the next day - watch the next vid it looks better now. I ran out of materials on a sunday and had to wait till monday to get more.

[xxAO2012xx]

accident waiting to happen XD

[nUaSvAy]

Scary amount of wiring! Great job!

[ItzDrob]

What are you doing with the old deck?

[nissanlover1979]

thats a nice setup. thanks for sharing

[Demineralize]

Yo son.. The best shit I've seen so far.. I laugh at people when their stuff doesn't look right (not really).. But that's extremely dope son.. AND THAT REAL HIP-HOP IN THE BACKGROUND IS DOPER!!.. That's real hip-hop right there..

[fastodie]

hey where did you buy the flex filler 2 at??

[aajay602]

all i gotta say is "Steve Meade" is da truth!!!!

[SuperMoo332]

thats a sick set-up im sure all your work will pay off very well

[maxmays1]

omg u dont even have the door speakers!!! fuck man! and it still sounds legit

[chaselanham]

probably the most badass thing i have ever seen

[rogerd2x]

what you do with the air vent behind the screen.. did you close it off or is it still blowin on the back of the screen?

[capcyvasile]

Disable that alarm beep :| ... it freak`s me aout .... put another silent one :D

[Syperion]

HOLY SHIT! I have the same deck as steve freaking meade! :D

[meepmeepmfer]

Steve, as usual your work is tight.

[FLoPmedia]

[1234DEANO]

[chrisbraughton]

[Flashpoint922]

Too Short - "Gettin' It"

[phishstain]

Absolutely the best!

[pdgeman]

now you can watch music videos while you beat the crap out of the truck with 30k watts.

[bdawgfilms]

[ebrewer2224]

makes me want a tahoe and a computer in my truck

[ramdhunviraj]

hope to see u soon wiz amazing modifications

[nubady]

hey steave u are awsome !!

POD !

[SouseMyBouse]

60 GB ipod is a bit redundant eh? The iTunes should be able to play everything on the iPod, and so can your iPhone.

[meade916]

totally hahah but what else should i do with it except let it collect dust. I plugged it in for the hell of it just to have another "source" but its totally uneccessary.  Hey bro at least i didnt install my 2 Pioneer CD Changers - now thats a real waste of time LOL

[RockPlayer95]

@meade916 lol that wouldnt make any sense but i wish i had the same settup as u do but it looks great. are you going to make another system rebuild cause if you do u could change from doing it to suvs and maybe do it to a truck (but not ford. lol)

[408ogre]

You gotta slapp some more too $hort. Bring that ol Skool back

[blackdragonx1186]

which pioneer HU is that? looks like a 510 or higher.

[betov806]

5 star

[juukbox]

Whats the name of the song at 7:00 ?

[djirok09]

Getting it-Too Short

[juukbox]

thanks.

[stephengurka1]

lmao...i've never used this onstar since day one so SEE YA.

[sn95chico]

anyone that thinks that pioneer is better then eclipse is one stupid mother fucker trust me

i sell eclipse and pioneer and eclipse is better deck then pioneer anyday

pioneer decks are at the most 5 volt

eclipse is 8volt

eclipse high end deck is made in japan

pioneer is made in china witch should tell everything if you know about car audio

eclipse has 3 year warranty

pioneer has 2 year (huh)

im not saying that pioneer is not good

[Jonaldinho7]

is the bluetooth clear and how far does it reach?

[andre1995ish]

whats the point of the mac if u still have the deck and have ur ipod cause all it lokks like is you using it for itunes... cany you just use ur ipod/iphone?

n not have the mac

[Banasianforce3]

It's alot better sound quality from the mac and u have more controll on the sound settings

[datkoolbrutha]

@andre1995ish The Mac Mini won't be for just music.Plus it eliminates the use of the wires.

[4r2c5ter]

hay what are those things that are on the right of the drivers seat

[andre1995ish]

there for the bass i belive so he can just turn it up and down

[dckmn52]

that blue-tooth setup is badass. everything integrated and controllable like that is really sweet and convenient as hell.

[TheMbl13]

man,your set ups always look like they wuz there from tha factory man.real clean...*****

(5 stars)

[mythbuster74]

So do you have an xbox or just rockband? I have that hub too

[TIErSeVeN1]

sorry to be an ass but i never been around car system before i hope some of these day or one day i will SMD FOR LIFE BABE!!!

[nemier]

that is the nicest set up ever

[the4x4yamaha]

I got one question, is the mac mini hooked upto the new deck? Like can you play music from the mac onto your system

[MrDerkaBerka]

um... what other reason would he put the mac in there?

[the4x4yamaha]

Well who wouldn't want a mac in their car?

[nemier]

that is the whole point of the mini

[nemier]

How cold was it outside???

[nunucpt]

he lives in california so it was around 60F

[nemier]

yeah i know he lives in california, i wish it was still 60F were i live, i wont see that for at least 6 months

[TruNerd3]

man thats a really nice set up

[sNuGz187]

damn the new set up is really nice man, i like it, the iphone bluetooth thing is the shit bro

[WhatsHappnin1]

Where the air/heat controls gonna Go?

[yar2008]

cant wait to see those door panels go in keep up the vids

[bigboy5998]

Hay Steve where is the Internet service do you also use the mini mac to go on or just for music

[camarogod93]

Depending on what you're going to plug in to that USB hub, you dont really need power to it. It will get power from the computer. But if you're going to be using it to charge your iwhatever, then i would put power to it.

[MySebi1]

steve you must be a milionare

[rockyrobins]

Sick! Sick as Hell!

[mrsmithtim]

Man I know you probly think I have a BIG ASS MOUTH but the Double Din in the bottom with nav and a video switcher puts the all the pics everywhere and allows you to multisource witha upper end Kenwood. Oh yea thanks for carrying the car audio industry on your BACK...Rockford needs to CUT THE DAMN CHECK AND TAKE YOU ON TOUR YOU HAVE A HELLA LARGE FAN BASE AND SHOULD TOUR WITH DUB AND NOPI. MY BROTHA YOU ARE FUCKIN FAMOUS AND KNOWN COAST TO COAST. TIM at Bon Vivant Motoring ATL GA 404-484-3565

[meade916]

you dont have a big ass mouth bro its all good! thanks for your input man! Too late though its a done deal and i really like it! Its simple and crazy at the same time - hence the OEM texture on the bezel. Thanks Tim!! I appreciate the comment my bro.

[mrsmithtim]

Steev I know you like the touchscreen but Big Homie Please look at the Polaroid 15.4" Since you already lost the vents and onstar Also the extend the the remote line out of the mini so that you can use the Front Row application since it's the fliest. Wireless keyboard and Gyro mouse set up plus the wireless internet is also a good thing they do ake an antenna amplifier.

[meade916]

15.4 is to big and tacky for me..i think 10.2 is perfect. Not too small not to big. I dont need to extend anything to use front row, i already use it fine - but i dont like it that much, its OK and all but i have a ton of different music apps i like just as well.

[lases100]

nice, awsome work and skills

[MrBASSHEAD1]

tight steve. unlimited music in the tahoe. now it is loud and smart. MrBASSHEAD

[SeexyyAmbeer]
