**AZNiNjARaVeR** · 12-22-2006, 04:43 AM

For a nub that is...
This is the first install that I have ever done...
I just was always intrested in putting wierd things in wierd places...and plus...im a computer geek....
or so as everybody says...
im the only person that i know, personally that has ever done such a thing.
These pics were all taken yesterday from 4:00pm to 7:30pm...meaning, i did everything in under 4 hours...including driving, running back and forth...and idling...which im good at.

just so you know...i kinda wanted to make a newbie guide for my friends if they ever dare venture into the unknown like i have...

The Package for the lilliput 7' monitor came in at close to 4...and when it came....i was shaking with excitement

ohh...what a beaut... I already like how it looks....

See how it will fit into my dash console area

just got it...but i cant help it...i must take it apart....

first i took off the bottom bar part.... and the buttons.

boredom...thats not gonna work...mabie i should of gone for an 8 inch?

frame check...IT FITS!!!

take this beaut. logo off...

umm...this is what i want to do...cut that off... but thats not gonna work...

thanks dad for letting me loan your tools without your permission!!!

bwhahahaha the cutting begins....

its seperated!!!

reassemble the bottom buttons...and put the screen back togeather...

nice...still shaking from excitetment

messy workplace/room...mabie i should clean it...actually...i was but the monitor came in...

**AZNiNjARaVeR** · 12-22-2006, 04:46 AM

yes!! this part done....

now for power....

need to go to my power for center console

taking it off...

hey...hes/im running off with my center console!!!!

tapping 12v directly from the thingy... drilled a small hole for soddering to sit in... the 12v port only powers on when my keys are in and the car is on....Perfect power supply

its done....

Had to drive to autozone to pick up some more tools...and supplies...which i seem to lack alot of...

glued this down...

**AZNiNjARaVeR** · 12-22-2006, 04:47 AM

plastic puddying it down

thats how its gonna look...for now...i dont want to relocate the button right now...cuz i dont have a clue where i should relocate them too...and i want to keep them...
ill probally glue them down there though....

removin radio

Temporary radio relocation...cuz i dont have anywhere else to place it...its a small car....

so on the floor it stays...

**AZNiNjARaVeR** · 12-22-2006, 04:48 AM

do you by any chance have an amp for the speakers yet? because if you do i would highly recommend complete deletion of the radio all together. Otherwise, not too bad for a 1st time install. Any more pics of the PC case?

does that plastic putty give you enough support for pushing with your finger? you may want to use some epoxy to just add more strength to that... or go with the ABS Sludge...

Im still working on the pc case because i dont have a motherboard yet.
Just a question....ya i have an amp for the speakers, why should i get rid of it?

The plastic putty stuff gives plenty of support for the pushing of my finger, that stuff hardens like crazy and stays that way.

First off, please, please, please, get rid of that Doreamon steering wheel cover.

Nice location though, fits so nicely.
