Nice progress so far. It will be really nice once complete. One thing though, the yellow text make your pic's a little hard to read.

i used epoxy and resin clay(bodyfiller+resin mixed) to fill out gaps..
it is strong enough to hold double din in..

hey why not use a switch with two positions, one for a direct bypass i.e directly grounded and the other for the hand brake ground, so you can choose whenever you want to bypass it? not sure if that makes sense.

Needs a drop!

I mean... nice work! One question... will you have a snap-over cover later?

The one thing that kills me about static in-dash DVD screens is the "steal me!!!!" aspect they bring to the IP.
