Ha, that's an idea I never thought of 
but a good one, considering the small RPI matches the small Jimny.
First idea would be obviously to integrate it with a LCD screen and pipe the output through a small amplifier to the car speakers. The touch interface would probably be a bit more difficult to implement, but having XBMC in the car would certainly be fun.
The new versions of RPI (512 RAM) should be able to run Android ... that opens up a lot of possibilities.
Or you could hook up a gyro sensor and built an accurate clinometer with buzzer and lights :laugh:

This age thing is a little annoying at times, might be the onset of altimeters decrease??

A small computer no bigger than a credit card. It's meant to be a cheap, fully usable computer for emerging countries. It's running Linux (obviously) and has USB (for storage), Ethernet port (for networking), HDMI and analog video output, analog sound output, GPIO header (for connecting various sensors).
It looks like this:
