Quick question...what are the multiple switches below the dvd slot for (the red light up ones...)

Thanks!!

The switches are for:

Switch 1 - Strobe lights mounted behind the grills and scoops in the front of the car
Switch 2 - Temp Disables the door chime so I can have the key in the ignition with the door open without the chime driving me bonkers
Switch 3 - Temp allows me to raise/lower the convertible top WITHOUT having to set the parking brake like normal. Good for while you're moving at 5mph in traffic and the clouds are turning dark over head...
Switch 4 - Turns on the bullet camera that records all that happens in front of me.

:-)

See post 31 for the update on switches, etc

Are you in the police, fire or is it because of the military that you have the strobes. (just out of personal curiosity.)

A 12" touch screen?!? I'm jealous now!! :-) lol j/k. Sweet setup though. Yeah I had a regular 7" video monitor before this and couldn't imagine using that as a touch screen. Thanks for the props.

As far as the WinTV.. you might want to see this thread

Ok, well I wasn't happy with the center bezel I made before, so I made a new one and I think I'm much happier about this one, though, I guess I'll figure that out over the next few days.

EDIT: I AM MUCH HAPPIER WITH THE NEW BEZEL ;-)
