Apple + Audi

 
 

I’m attempting to write a step by step guide on what I did to install a Mac Mini into my 2001 Audi TT Coupé. My goal was to not know the Mac Mini was in the car. The system had to look like it was as stock as possible. It’s supposed to closely look like it was installed in the factory in Germany (ahem - Hungary). I found a lot of my information from mp3car.com, vwvortex.com, and fastmatt.com/carputer/.
