Yes, I was joking in my last post -- I don't have the nerve to attempt the video-on-navi conversion. But the mod I did make to my X to help me stay awake while driving is pretty cool, so I thought I'd share it with everyone.
I got tired of pulling over to 7-11s for coffee. It takes time, and the coffee isn't particularly good. So I purchased a Cuisinart TTG-500 Two to Go Coffeemaker from Amazon...
Then I bought a Belkin DC/AC Portable Power Converter so I can plug the coffeemaker into the center console outlet...
Then I used industrial strength Velcro to attach the coffeemaker to the dashboard...
Important! Make sure you use
industrial strength Velcro. You're dealing with a hot and potential scalding item on your dashboard, so you want to use the strongest fastener possible.
So now any time I'm sleepy while driving, I just reach over, pour some beans into the Cuisinart (which I've premeasured into little baggies at home so I don't have to take my eyes off the road), add some cold water from my thermos, and in five minutes I've got delicious, fresh coffee without ever having to pull over!
Enjoy!
