C# Telematics/Infotainment HTPC Pimp My Ride Take 3!
So my C#/.NET based software Mobile Media Center has now been used in 3 Pimp My Ride vehicles. It was used in the ice cream truck this season, a Pontiac Solstice for GM based on a James Bond theme, and a Lincoln Navigator with motorized Wine Rack in the back :) The Lincoln Navigator was at the SEMA show this past week in the Gaplin booth. Mad Mike just called us and said he now wants MMC in his personal SUV :) We are doing a totally unique skin and some custom stuff for him to show off. We will be doing OBDII integration and CAN Bus / HVAC control for him, which is some of the new modules I have been working on... cool stuff. A lot going on too that I can not talk about here... yet.
It is being designed to run on Mono, so MMC will eventually be a complete HTPC / Digital Lifestyle / Home Automation software that runs seamlessly on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux flavors. I have been testing with Mac OS X in Kiosk mode on the new Apple Intel Mac Mini's with a Xenarc touch screen and it's hot! I will keep you guys posted. I will need a lot of beta testers.
We are still looking for investors too ;)
Later!
