What's the lil box inside the radio console?

Its a Visteon HD Radio. Its the best and perfect solution for getting radio on a Car PC setup.

The new monitor fits perfect. I was going to tell you about it ,but I didn't want you to think you did it. I have a feeling it happened in the mail.
Thanks for all you help Nexson

BCS60Z I think ZX1 Cruizer answered your question. It worked great on the test bench. Thank you both for looking.

More coming tomarrow

Cheers matey!

I really do love my Boston Acoustic Component speakers. I also ran new speaker wire to all 4 speakers. note: Waiting on new tweeters:

Making the wires safe and neatly tucked away. I put heat shrink tubing on the tips of any harness power and ground wires that were not being used. I also used a velcro wire strap here so I can access the wires later if need be.

Hooked the battery back up and tested the computer, amps and LED voltameter. I also installed the back up camera. All a success.

Here was the fun part. If you look back in post #18 you'll see that my amps are all on boards. The thing is the seats of my 2003 CR_V have a bar on the rails of the seat going from side to side. There is only one way to actually mount the amps. Pull the amp board back drop the seat in, slide the amp board back in and screw it down. Also the center console and passenger seat have to go in first. Then the drivers seat.

BCS60Z that was my secret LOL, I know you are doing your 2 screen install right now. That's so cool.

I have all the fuses in and the wires are nicely soldered and have heat shrink tubing.

The system is all together works and I can drive the CR-V. It sounds great, the GPS and HD radio work. I'm still waiting on tweeters. I will also post more pics once the CR-V is vacuumed and cleaned up. The wireless keyboard and mouse I reviewed works great to. Thanks for looking.

Let me ask. Did you camera come with that stupid reverse guide cr@p. I bought 1 reverse camera and it was f*#king awesome. Has good light compensation and adjusting, works nice in the dark too. I ordered 2 more from the same guy and they were different. Had this stupid display onscreen that is supposed to measure the distance, but they are so inaccurate since my cameras are higher then usual. Because the 2 came from China is was pointless to return them. I then ordered 2 more recently (but from America) and although they looked good, they 2 had that distance cr@p. I am now returning them and going to try another set. I was wondering where you bought yours from.

PS: HEHE I love how you got your PC in the center console. Mine was supposed to go in there but I had to build a new dedicated one thats bigger. Let me ask though, why are you not using a automotive PSU?

PS #2.... Never mind, its a M4-ATX, just in a case. D@mn I should read next time! Is that carpet for the sides? I would get thin MDF, its really strong, and maybe build sides for the console, then carpet them like you have it.

Actually I did the same, the PYLE camera is the with out the guide. The camra I installed has that guide. That silly guide kills the night vision. Especially when I back out of my driveway at 5 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays for work. I ran into a bush lol. I bought the PYLE on Amazon and the other thing on EBAY.(I got to find time to install the PYLE)

I used 1/8 in. abs plastic then carpeted that, I felt it gave me more space in the center of the console. I also felt in the summers here in Texas it might be easier to cool. I am still considering carpeting some aluminum. My amps are mounted on 1/2 in. MDF.

I love looking at your install keep posting. Thanks more pics of the completed work this week.
