Concerning the 12V to 0.6 V issue, I thought I would throw my two cents in.

I would go with the LM317 approach as someone previously suggested.
However, since the car battery does swing over a couple of Volts, I think
that regulating the battery voltage to 5 Volts with a 7805 (Bt suffix should
suffice) would probably give you a little better performance.  I use such circuits
at work when I need several precise voltages for cicuits when using one common
AC - DC power jack instead of several power supplies.
