New Toy in my Glovebox - DVD

Took me about 4 hours to get this installed and have it just right. I decided to install a 1/2 din DVD player in my glovebox and run the wires down the center console to plug into the armrest.

I decided to make this install very clean, so you can never see the wires (unless you open the arm rest and you will see the RCA's plugged in. I mounted an IR-Sensor in the dash behind the AC vent so that I could use a remote if I needed to.

Let me know what you guys think. If you all have any questions on what/how I did this, please feel free to post and I will try to answer everything.

As you can see, it fits quite well in our glovebox. I did however need to do some cutting in the back to allow wires to pass through and needed to use "L" shaped RCA connectors.

Just use your imagination to answer this question on your own. Per the forum rules, I can't talk about this mod
