Default my dash..done ( ithink : )

few days ago I asked how to set-up multiple audio using a selector but didn't seem to get a response so I just improvised and made one and then some

- 3way selector for PC, stand-alone DVD and AUX uadio
- in/out temp w/ voltmeter ( u can say useless but had to fill in space )
- added some switches, 1 is already wired for PC power
NOTE: the composite inputs stickin out w/ the red swicthes is for the AUX audio input..had to make one for my portable mp3 player


close-up:


wide angle:


window switch led ( BTW I used non-bright red leds )


BTW in case you're wondering I used wrinkle effect texture paint explaining the rough surface

Sweet install, any recommendations on installing the LED screen? Is there a kit already made for them? Maybe from someone like metra?

What I would like to do is I have a laptop I use on the road all the time to dialup for work for my home business, I would like to have a PC/DVD setup so I can just plugin the cellphones USB connector into a plug somewhere in the dash.

if your talkin' about the screen above the *****, I had to butcher my radio bezel and glassed/bondo it back in place to fit the screen. the one below is not a screen but a CIRQUE touchpad which I placed pretty much the same way I did the screen.

It would have been easier if there were kits for things you'd want to put in your car but unfortunately most of the time you always have to start from scratch..I guess that's where the fun is
