Check Out My Install!!!
At least give us a picture of the car. This is the show off areea, so show something off...
Ok, now it is just about time to start putting together. For powering the Xenarc, I am going to fabricate a USB power cable, to run from the Opus (located in the back) to the front.
For the USB power cable, I am going to do the following:
- Take USB cables from old USB LAN adapters
- Splice cables together to get correct length
- Create a PCB or similar to connect power cable to custom Power USB port
- Connect custom USB power port to Opus 12v & ground
Seems like it will work just fine. Anyone got any inputs?

Yea, the snap onto your console or vents. They are awesome if you don't want to build/mod your dash. I will definately post some pics.
Connected to Xenarc:
WOH! You got the Remote control with the Xenarc!! Can you please take some shots of the remote and the IR Receiver? Thanks!

Looks great so far, keep us updated... Im buying my items over the next couple of weeks.
HD54321: My 700tsv also came with a remote also, where did u source ur monitor from?
Where are you planning on mounting your hardware?? I'm also really interesting in seeing how this clip actually mounts. I have a Trailblazer and I thought about doing something similar, but I'm really trying to keep it prestine.
Also, how are getting sound into the sound system?? Do you have the factory sound system?
