Do you have an exact address, I did a search for it on Yellow Pages and nothing came up. Maybe just a street or any Intersection?

I can do Bonedaddies for lunch if anyone is in, but am out for dinner.

Bonedaddies is a restaurant similar to Hooters except the food is good, and the staff is amazing. I guess not like Hooters at all

I think I will get the same, as I have 6-7 projects I am transitioning to others before next week. Congrats on new gig. Where did you move to/from?

I am leaving Capital One Auto and going to Countrywide in FW. A 72 mile round trip down to a <20 mile round trip. That is a $3000 increase in gas savings.

Oh, and the 30+% raise is nice too.

From Alcatel (Plano) to Celanese Chemical (635 & 35).

Commute doubled from 21.2 to 38.2 miles round trip.

Plus additional toll fees. :angry:

But the pay increase more than makes up for it.

Hey all,

Just got a V1 with concealed display and want to hardwire it. I searched and all the DIY's were 3rd gen.

Most people went to the Drivers window fuse in the 3rd gen, by drivers calf. that fuse is on the passergers side in the 2nd gen.

Sorry for the ramble

So I can power off the passenger fuse box, where is everyone putting the concealed display?

On the steering column
On the 12 volt stub?

Also, where are you putting the main unit?

any help is appreciated.

I have the main unit just above the rearview mirror and the power from the fuse box in the passenger well.

The drivers power window is 12v constant, not switched (at least it had power with the key out), so I tapped the sunroof fuse 30A.

Any ideas on the concealed display, may not need it, the mute on the main unit is pretty easy to hit.

The PITA would be putting the concealed on the steering column and having to reach through the wheel to mute.

Thanks. I had a Bel before and it was OK, this V1 is awesome.

If I use the concealed and figure it out, I will post pics, no worries. I still thinking that the main unit is pretty darn easy to mute, and the hard wire into the fuse box, means no dangling cord-YES

Yesterday was a very hard day for me. I had to say farewell to one of my closest friends.
It really hasnt set in yet.

Ive never met anyone like Andrew. He gives everything he can and asks for nothing in return. I know its not really goodbye but it was one of the hardest things Ive had to do. I had to do everything in my power to keep it together.

Andrew thank you for being my friend. I will be here waiting for you to come back to Texas

I wish you all the best in New Jersey. You will be missed dearly......Ethan

Thanks. Actually It was about a 15 minute process to get the main unit in, the concealed will be the trick.

Saw your last post. Drew is headed to NJ?

You hit it on the head, having met him a handfull of time, what a great guy.

But that only seems to fit in with most of the people in this group.

You will be sorely missed Andrew.

I'll be traveling to Jersey at least once a quarter to Bridgewater and Somerset.

Are you anywhere near there?
