Apple OS X running in a Prius?


Now this is cool! It looks as if someone actually hacked a way to get MacOS X to run nicely on their Toyota Prius..They wrote:

The first thing I needed was video in. There are a number of options here, I decided to go with the CAN-view for a number of reasons, it takes RGB in opposed to other options that are either only composite video or s-video. Also the CAN-view has a serial out which I had hoped to be able to use to read touch screen coordinates, and maybe eventually take the other CAN data to build an interface showing different car statistics. At the very least even if I couldn't get the Mac Prius working I'd at least have the CAN-view interface to look at and play around with. I highly recommend this product. I am very impressed with Norm the designer of the hardware and software. He makes a great product, and is very helpful in emails and is always willing to help out. I can't say enough about Norm. Even if you aren't interested in the Mac Prius but you want to see the inner workings of the Prius I would highly recommend the CAN-view. I have the version that works with the NAV enabled Prius and it hooked up right to the NAV player under the driver's seat. Only took me 15 minutes to hook it up. It was easier then getting the Coastaletech EV Mode Kit hooked up (which wasn't hard either). The non-NAV version looks to be a bit harder to install because you have to take apart the dash to get behind the MFD. Anyway, check out his site! Hybrid Interfaces.CA
