Well after probably over a year of yapping about it, i'm finally getting off my lazy butt and doing something.
I've had my 7" Lilli for a few months now, but last weekend I finally picked up my Mini and ordered my P1900, a USB hub, and a 1GB SODIMM.
The place I ordered the memory from drug it's ***, but when they finally sent it they sent it overnight so I still had it in time
Thursday night I started getting the P1900 ready.
Friday morning I took my Mini into the office to reload it's OS for a clean install. I got about 75% through and found out I had a bad install disc
AppleCare is shipping me a new one, but that does do squat for the weekend. So I poked around the office and everyone I know with an Intel Mac didn't have their install CDs with them. So I resigned myself to waiting forever to borrow the disc from the local Apple Store. I got there and had ~3 hours until my appointment time, but talked a sales guy into grabbing the disc for me so the Techs didn't have to bother. 20 minutes later I was out of there with a working Mini
So I got home and pulled my old stero along with my center console, center facia, and both seats out. I also unknowingly (i.e. being a little too happy with the wire cutters
) cut the wiring to my speakers
I will say I meant to do it though since I didn't like how the shop that installed my stereo routed the wires to my AMPs, so now i'm running in a cleaner route now
After dark I came in and started the modifications on my center console and a bunch of soldering. Besides making some wires too long, everything looks ready.
Tomorrow i'll make the mods to my dash for the Lilli and hopefully have it all working by tomorrow night.
I'm taking pics through the process that I will get added after it's all done and I have some time to process the pics.
