Where is everyone mounting the TV/Navi switch? I was thinking on running it to one of the blanks to the left of the steering wheel. Is the cord long enough? Thanks!

Thanks for the link. I wonder if there's a way to hide that wire and totally flush it out...

By your right knee? Yeah I saw that. Pretty good spot too. I like the idea of having it in the blank since it looks a little more OEM and it's easier to reach, but only if I can find a way to hide that wire and flush it with the blank spot.

Joe, do you know if the cord is long enough to get over to the blanks? Thanks!

Nope... It's just the dials for the heat/vent and no other buttons.

I am worried about trying this on my car but will give it a shot on Saturday. I just got the kit! I am trying to figure out the best spot to put it so I wont have to see it.

I can't get the clips off! I think I might have damaged them since they are depressed all the way in!

Why did the make such a bad design for the vents? Can someone help me?
