7" steering wheel monitor FINALLLYY instald :P

just installed a 7" in 2 ma steerin wheel after 2 days work thought id share wid u guys, was suggestd to come here from a fella from another forum :)
wasnt as hard as i thought, hardest part was getin the airbag out!!

heres a link 2 my cardomain fingy : http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3832447 theres a pic on the first page

the wires are all fine, and none are caught in the steering wheel ect as i fed them through the actul coloum itself just drild a tad bit and made the hole bigger so the wires move freely and then another hole on a side down the column for the wires to feed out from...

sum1 jus mentiond tht it would b an MOT fail (london, UK).. any ideas guys.. or previous xperinc..

Very nice. Just checked out your pics on car domain, great work on all the mods! And I know you wouldn't fail an inspection here in seattle unless its a state patrol inspection, which is rarely required.
Your inspections are a lot more in depth though from what I have seen with thee headlight aiming and brightness test... That's way more than what we do here.

thanks... and yes, I've seen your other post, but don't know the answer. otherwise I'd already chime in. 8) And here in WA you can have any lights on you want on the parking lot, unless you start rolling. The second your car rolls all the underglow lights become illegal.

so....you sacrificed safety in a air bag to watch a video when you suppose to be driving?....lol

Hopefully not watching a video. On my way home*, I saw a stupid dumb ass chick texting while driving down I-40 in NC near Ashville. She was weaving all over the place. The next time I see that, I am calling the HWP.

Most likely he has engine monitoring gauges showing up. That would be useful. Then again keeping your eyes on the road is necessary. I had switched to a droid phone and I find the user interface a little annoying while driving. All this swipe and touch requires a lot precession while being bumped down the highway. I have my phone in the upper left hand corner on a mount so I can use the GPS functions. I am rethinking the whole interface and justification....

Any how I digress....That is a really nice mod...A very well done.

*Technically not home but to my girl friends for the holidays. After all home is where the heart is....

well its for the video which will be played from my screen, but mainly for the satnav that il have conected from my n95 tomtom and google earth/maps for sateltie view just incase i get lost to see where i am on the move.. its not for constant viewing.. just one of those gadgets to say.. i have a screen in my steering wheel ;)
lol
i wont be driving this car fast anyway i spent to much time building it and also its way to slow anyway for my liking. Cant have enough fun personally... and anyway i just got off a 2 year ban so im not likly to be driving fast or dangrus..
hopeing for a r34 by mid-late 2011 probly not a gtr as i cant afford that, more than likly gtt so atleast il have a 2.5ltr single turbo as stock.. for fun times.. and the kalos for daily drives as itl be cheaper on petrol.. :D

i had a ps2 in my mustang like 10 years ago.. it was really hard to drive the car left while steering the video game car right..
(i only tried once.. in a parking lot on a bet).

i also had dvds, and such playing, as well as a carputer that had real time gauges and such on the screen.. pretty advanced for the time. That was my only big stereo install ever. And i did it because the carputer was easy to build, and also had obd interface.

lol you joka, that sounds maaddd! i wanted to do a carputer but the only thing with me is all the places i go are near by so by the time the carputer would of booted up i would be there LOOL! :(
otherwise i think carputers are amazzing! i wanted the carputer for the obd interface too so i could run real time guages and stats off it like the nissan skyline r34 has on the centre of the dash with all the cool gadgets..
but hay cant have em all LOl.. i just got the VI monitor instead for all that.. need to find a place to mount that still.. hmmm

damn the things you mentioned there are still tip top for todays gadgets... minus ps2... its just ps3 now.. but still....
but yeh that sounded prettttty sweet.. specially in a mustang! i looooove em..
im in love with the new shape gt500 :o
ok ima stop blabering now.. its early mawnin..
