...yes..i mounted everyting myself...can't really call it original since the basic idea has been there for a while...tv's mounted in sun visors, etc...just a variation on a theme...the work is really easy...i could do a How to...the Turbo timer only took maybe an hour(just the install in the arm rest) and the Boost Controller took maybe 20 minutes...I have another really cool idea that I will Post on Sunday...everyone can do this for $5 or so and it is sweet...has to do with FTP lenses..have not seen any post about it so we will see if I am the first

if you want, you can send the pictures to me and i will upload. if you have them uploaded somewhere on the net, this forum uses image tags instead of conventional html. [img and /img]. you have to close the 'img' boxes, but it wont let me put the "[" and "]" on both sides. you get the idea?
germany? i'm jealous. which city are you in or close to? i want to go to school there and stay about a year. i love it there.

Pic 1 The angle gives the impression that you cant see the bottom of the TV..not true...but at least you can see that the tv is not just a snap and attach

Pic 2:Her you can see that the bottom of the tv actually goes the dash board..

thanks again casio
