The only problem I ran into...well...one of them at least...was that the instructions said to use the four bolts from the cubby to bolt the monitor housing in were waaaaaay to big so I ended up going to Home Depot and I picked up some #8 bolts with washers and bolted it in that way. No biggie...

I also broke a tab or two. Live and youlearn! Oh...I also lost a screw that fell...

The bolts that the monitor housing was using were not the right side so I went to Home Depot and picked up a couple of packages of #6 bolts. washers and nuts to keep things tight.

I think that I will adjust the position of the Pandora since it is pushed back a little from the opening. I want to reduce the amount of space by as much as possible since the pre-cut version of the din-cover is slightly wider than the Pandora.

The ground wire is just connected to the car. Just like you would ground any wire in a car.

The ignition, well, I'll leave that up to the OP...since I'm not familiar with that car and where it's easiest to pick up an iginition source.

All you really need is a switched power source. I simply tapped into the cigarette lighter line for that. For the ground wire, I connected it to the fender wall inside the engine compartment.

really should ground to the factory ground if at all possible if you're already in the engine compartment...fewer ground points is better.

It's been a while since I've actually looked under the hood, but I think I actually used one of the existing ground points. I don't remember off hand though...

Very nice! The computer I built is for the 2008 G Coupe. From the sedan, I notice the glovebox is much bigger and more roomy. I'm still not quite sure how I'm going to fit my system, but it'll involve lots of cutting Hahah.

I just hope it doesn't come with that integrated computer stuff like the '07 Sedan... I don't know how people are going to be able to install an aftermarket system.

Thanks!!! I worked hard on getting it put together properly. I'll take some new pics. I DO think that I am having some power problems on the external drive though. Every once in a while something happens causing either a drop in power or something where the power supplied to the external drive causes the drive to disconnect. This is causing a "Delayed Write Failure" so to fix it I have to unplug the drive, and plug it back in after a few seconds. Kind of a pain...
