In-process shots of the “junction box” – all signals from the Xbox (DC, audio, video, usb) go through here to their endpoints (the cigarette lighter, the car’s audio system, the LCD, and the keypad). It also has a power switch, an Xbox start/stop button, and an extra switch in case I need it for something. Built-in 4-port USB hub, the interface box for the LCD, etc. This’ll get velcroed to the side of my transmission tunnel.

It’s all dry-fit currently, I’ll epoxy everything in place tomorrow. It’s got a 4-port hub to connect the keypad, a thumbdrive for song transfer, a webcam, whatever. To get all the signals from the Xbox in the trunk up front, I assembled a 12-foot snake, carrying power, composite vid, l/r audio, ethernet, USB, and some single-pair phone cable to carry the start/stop signal. So sore from zipping zip ties…hands…like claws…
