weekend project

Got one of my projects done for the most part. Added obdII engine monitor tire pressure monitor to the unit. Also hooked up the dashcam. Guages are mounted on a hard foam packing material, cut into shape and velcro'd to the dashboard.
front mount

Bottom side

Switched electrical connections. I had the car stereo people put in a 12v switched lead inside the access panel so I could hook up more stuff without using the lighter plug. A bit bulky but it all tucks under the panel and it works.

mounted

drivers view.

Also showing dash cam and new stereo/backup camera control. There's also a switch for the driving lights on the left side. Not completely satisfied with the wiring, may work on it a bit more. Tire monitor and dashcam wires are too exposed. GPS is only about 4" long so that's fine.
