Lightbulb Lilliput installation in TM-701L housing extras

If you haven't seen it already, there is a great writeup on installing your Lilliput in a TM-701L housing here:

Writeup Lilliput installation in TM-701L housing

This is a description of what I did beyond that.

First off I did the indash conversion like everyone else, and the coyote auto-on mod.

Then I replaced all of the cables from the LCD through the housing with one ribbon cable, and added a nice little quick connect in the LCD housing for when I have to take it apart.

After all that ribbon cable stuff, I added a rocker switch to make it so the LCD only gets power when it is pulled out of the housing.

Thats about it. Hopefully the pictures are worth 8000 words...
