Over the weekend, I completed the in-car wiring. I soldered the P1900 input harness to power, ground, and ignition and test-installed the computer and screen. Everything worked the first time, surprisingly. However, the startup/sleep/shutdown sequence was not working properly, so I need to troubleshoot that. No pictures since it's all just a rat's nest of wiring and not much to look at.

To smooth the transition between the screen case and the mount, I covered the screen with a plastic sack and pushed it into the mount. Then I spread Bondo around the seams and sanded it down. The edges and seams now have a nice, smooth joint that should look nice when painted.
