So, I will put a microswitch in the case behind the bottom of the screen. This allows me to turn off the short for ability to use the RCA input without finding the bleedin remote.
Cheers all!

That's the exact same path I took after reading some more about the problems associated with the mod. I understand it can have adverse effects if the car is shut off for a brief period, then switched on again - the screen doesn't start all the time, for example. So like yourself, I chose the switch method. Pics will be coming eventually - carputer is about 90% complete. The switch method gives more control, IMHO.
