Mac Mini Car Install -- Keyboard/Trackpad Suggestions
A lot of your saw and helped with my kitchen mac mini install, I appreciate all the nice comments and great help I received.
I have now moved on to my car. I have purchased a mount that with work in my pathfinder, and a p1900/macpac car power supply for the mini. I will heading to CompUSA (no apple store here) to pick a dual core mac mini.
I already had a 7" pioneer DVD player with an extra input and had an extra ip-bus passthrough audio input. I don't need touchscreen, my finger don't so well on my treo much less the mac os.
I have two questions/problems that I think you wonderful people might be able to help me with.
The mini is going in a back compartment of my suv, obviously the remote would work. I have seen those pyramid IR to RF and RF to IR units, but are there any other solutions.
I would like to get a wireless (bluetooth preferred, but not needed) keyboard with a builtin trackpad for mac. Any ideas?
Thanks for the help!

Anyhow, with a Google search, looks like Adesso has one (not Bluetooth):

You could also get a separate wired trackpad and mount it to the dash, depending on how you want to use it.
Have fun.

Have you considered a bluetooth trackball instead of the trackpad? I always thought of the trackball as the best solution for a car.
I will take pictures when complete.
