Hi vtecfelon23.

I have found a solution.

I was right. LS-372 needs a +5V signal to power up and the uSDC20 use a "short to ground" signal.

So I modified the uSDC20 adding a little home-made circuit with 78L05 5V regulator a PNP transistor. I also modified routage and added a 4-PINS MOLEX connector in order to connect the USDC directly through the motherboard.

Fixations and female MOLEX connector on motherboard :



I will have more free time this week end and I will make updates on my thread.

I hope finish this project before the end of the year (All hardware but not the paint).

Wow, amazing work coucouillu... !!! =)

I did not plan to use any DVD/cdrom.
I want to use only USB stick and 2.5" external HDD. OS installation has been made by my 8GB usb stick. The motherboard boots on USB.
I have the possibility to use an external USB SLIM SLOT LOAD DVD/CD in the glove box. I already bought them and would use it as option.

I could integrate a slot load in th 2DIN unit only if I could buy/get a PROLOGY 1/2 INDASH screen here.

But no way to have one.

ah so sad. looks great though

Amazing work! Enjoyed reading this whole thread. I find you way of modding PCB's interesting, carving out the ground areas to make your own solder pads, very smart. I have learned from this thread, very useful information. You are quite talented with electronics, my hats off to you sir!

Today I have tested in the car.
I was pretty happy of the result.

Some noise in audio (I heard the motor throught the speakers). I will try to integrate a tiny Ground Loop Isolator to my system.

But at the end of the day, when parking the car in the garage, SHRIIIIIiiiIINnnNNnkKKKK!, I scratched the left rear side :
