Mac IPod

[m3f_Senna.Bra]

Have any of you guys installed the Mac IPod in your car?

[m3f_KUpolo]

I think stickboy has one hardwired in his car.

[m3f_CarQz17_da02e24fb5]

I had mine hardwired with a monster cable so it just sat in the cradle that i have for my cupholder. The wire went to an auxillary port on my HU. Cept the auxillary connector broke. No more in-car Ipod

[m3f_M-avant_0baeb1c2f5]

there's this thing called the Transpod : http://www.everythingipod.com/suggest.tpl?command=search&db=dbs/products.db&cart=10827638041657794&eqSKUdatarq=w00 1-2002&max=1&eqAVAILdatarq=YES&eqtype1datarq=For%20Y our%20Car

I have heard of a cable that will connect an Ipod into your CD changer wiring (Assuming you have the stock head unit) I lost the link for this cable, so Hopefully someone else knows.

*shudder* I absoutly refuse to use any MAC product.

I have mine connected to an AUX input adapter for my Sony. Stereo mini plug to RCA. I love it.

I feel sorry for you.

[m3f_Sirius_880bd69485]

Why feel sorry for me? I realized what crap they are when I was in elementry school working with apple IGS's...



Let me put it this way: If MAC designed cars, they would work on 1/3 of the roads, and have designes that should be found on one of thoes FOX outtake specials....



//end ranting.

I don't want to get into a flame war here, but you are basing your opinion on an Apple product that is almost 18 years old. And there was a reason that schools chose to use Apple computers back then, rather than the comparable PC product. It is true that there is a scarcity of software written for Mac, but all the big ones are there. And there is something to say about their design. My Mac hasn't crashed, frozen, locked up, or whatever you want to call it for about three months now. The only time I need to reboot is when I install a system update. I use PC's all day at work, and while they are very powerful tools, they are also major headaches. I enjoy the stability, simplicity, and beauty of my Mac at home.

Yeah, I know its a bit biased to base it on something thats 18 years old... :P, but even with todays mac products, I am still not impressed with them. But hey, to each their own. On a side note, I am quite capiable of keeping my box up for 3 months also, even though its a pc setup :P *shrug* Off topic, sry :P

No viruses, no worms, no spyware, no pop-ups (with no additional software), no spam (almost, and with no additional software), no blue screens of death, no "camera not found" and plenty of good software.



Guess which computer I use?



Sirius, you have impeccable taste in cars. Given that, I would recommend that you take a long hard look at a modern G4 or G5 Macintosh and OS X. Whatever bad taste Apple's computer's from the formative days of personal computing left with you, I'm sorry. But carrying it with you from the Apple IIgs days is about as relative as railing against the new GT 40 because the Model T was not much of a car. The Macintosh, which followed the Apple II, now has 20 years of evolution and development behind it.



I think you would be hard pressed to find that 2/3 of the roads that they wouldn't run on. I've been using a Mac (not MAC, that's an acronym for Media Access Control) since 1988, and there has been next to nothing that PC users could do that I couldn't. On the other hand, there have been many instances where I was doing things that had yet to make it to the mainstream PC platform.

I'm with Sirius. As long as you make your own PC (with quality parts) it should do just as fine as a MAC. And if MACs are so great why do you think that a majority of the world (at least the U.S.) uses PCs. *Does XP even have a blue screen of death? I have had my PC for maybe 3 years and has never crashed* :clap:



ALSO SORRY TO BE OFF TOPIC, JUST TRYING TO PUT HER TO BED. :thumbsup:

Oh I have, I am just as big of a computer nut as I am a car nut. I jiust don't like the feel of macs for some reason lol. I honestly didn't want it to stem off into this lol. Not to meniton I am well aware of what MAC stands for, I just got a lazy pinky finger at times.



And Mazur: I do build my own computers. Its the only way to fly.

Someone said that they loved the simplicity of macs...They aren't very simple, they are just made for simple people. The main difference between Mac and PC is their architecture...Macs use RISC and PCs use CISC. RISC is more efficient, however CISC has been around longer and production of CISC chips processors has been perfected. Most CISC processors now actually work more like a RISC ones, like AMDs products. Macs are for simple people...they are very popular among the elderly and childeren who dont want to understand or customize, they just want to be able to get their email. Many Macs are sealed up and their cases are not meant to be opened, so it is very hard to upgrade and customize them. Just like all of us who customize and fine tune our M3s...you can do the same with a PC. A MAC is more like a minivan with a sealed hood, you are not meant to fiddle with what makes it work.

Macs are typically overpriced for what you get, a equally capable PC will almost always run $300 cheaper that its Mac equivilent. However PCs are more power hunger (use 3 tiems the power of a Mac) and give off lots of heat.



Anyway, I will not step foot in a Mac store personally, Just like i wont step into a gay bar. Mac puts a large emphasis on making their computers look like they were designed by richard simmons after having one too many Zimas. But some people are into that. I prefer functionality over gay looks.

So which is better? it depends on who you are, if you are a stupid homosexual...buy a mac (meant to be in a humorous tone).

Everyone has their opinions and this debate has gone on forever, and many different conclusions have been made...most people agree on one thing though, linux OS is the best.



A little something on MACs (http://www.ubergeek.tv/article.php?pid=55)
