AWESOME! I received the M2 today at about 2pm. I also got my 6ft and 10ft USB extension cables from the mp3car store. Thanks again guys! I called them on the phone and they are a good group of people, very helpful. Now I don't know if its just because I read manuals before I hook stuff up or what but my M2 worked flawless on the first attempt. Booted the same as the full size ATX supply I was testing with. (Im bench testing right now, but expect the same results in the car) The OEM harness is rated for 15 amps so I think I am going to run the M2 directly off of that. Im really glad that I ran into pretty much zero problems on this build. I read some of the horror stories some people tell about their builds involving the electrical aspect and I can't help wonder, am I lucky? or is my 4 years of electronics schooling, 2 years of engineering schooling and 7 years of electrical work experience FINALLY paying off? lol anyway I should be installed and mobile PC'n this weekend. I have to pull out my passanger seat (has some airbag wiring attached to it) to mount my amp, but this is good because my spring project is mounting my black corbeau racing seats and Ill get to see whats involved with the airbag system. Anyway here are some more pics, more of the complete install will follow. Also for those trying to troubleshoot an M2, hook up an LED to the led pins. It blinks letting you know whats going on. I will eliminate the LED when i install but I thought I would at least check it out. Again thanks for the positive comments, I really had a great time building this and have learned so much just hanging out with you fellow mp3car builders.
