Hi,
Just to share my latest MOD, thanks to ZAM, he shared his idea. The only difference is he installed his DVD, CD, MP3 Player in trunk. I decided to install in the glove bax, and running wires without cutting anything. This is nothing compared to what I have seen.

That looks more like a PDA (perhaps with a GPS function?).

Good job Merc1, looks neat but now you're minus a glove box.

Whitey,
They way I have dvd set up is when I close the glove box it goes to the side. If you see the pic closely, I have MB books, and a flashlight. I have plenty of space. I was worried about loosing the space. But it is very satisfactory.

I am glad I didnt install in the trunk, it would be PIA to keep opening trunk in hot weather and bend down and insert the dvd's. I run song DVD's it is awesome, and they last only 45 min.



BTW, I think I will have the solutions for T-stat. I reading lots of pros and cons about temp. I came to a final conclusion. Anyway, another subject. Will post my research later, I spoke to people far as Germany and Mexico. Intersting..

That last pic is my computer 203 Ghz 64M Memory, it is connected to the internet via built in phone GSM World phone. It is also speaker phone. GPS is also attached.

I am modofying this to make it speakerphone LESS, I am goign to connect the MIC to the side piller and Speaker to the driver side.
With built in charger.

I will do this when, I receive my Radar detector. I will do the wiring for it from my sunroof power, so the wire wont dangle from the lighter. and the Detector will be tucked up above. I can easily remove it with quick disconnect, so no one breaks my window trying to steal it.

My friend has it in his as well. Screen is actually at perfect height. You can lean back and enjoy a flick without the rest of the world peepin' in at you from the screen being too high and visible to the outside.
