I used the smoked plastic that came with the SB2 with the display mounted back behind the plastic of the dash kit. Normally, when someone gets in the car and looks at the dash they just think there is empty space above the radio. The flash from the camera makes the electronics of the display more visible than it normally is.
The linkstation is sitting on foam that is glued to the inside of the glove box. It will slide out and I have a spare power cord for it in case I want to take it inside to update Slimserver or something. So far I have just done all the updates over the wireless. Both the SB2 and the linkstation are powered by an inverter mounted out of site under the dash. There are some relays and timers wired in so the setup will come on with the ignition and the linkstation stays on long enough to do a shutdown afer I turn off the ignition. There is also a button and switch mounted in the dash. Pressing the button will start a timer to keep the whole setup on for an hour so it can update the music over the wireless when I have new songs on the server inside the house. The switch is a three-way so I can set it to either come on with the ignition, stay on, or remove all the power. I did the install one night after work, but didn't really keep track of how long it took. I had most of what I needed already other than the SB2 and the linkstation, but I would estimate the cost at: SB2 $200 (these are getting harder to find now, but you still see them on ebay sometimes) linkstation $250 when I bought mine inverter $40 timers, relays, switches 50-$100 (depending on if you have anything already) +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: linkstation.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2217| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- Beann50 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beann50's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5153 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31248 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
