I married the bybyte lcd frame with my dash kit with the epoxy putty. looks good. except that i effed up and put it in upside down. how to fix this?
options:
1) tear out and do again - NEVER!
2) use windows to flip screen - Will work but might be annoying that bios screen is upside down
3) mess with pin38 on the lilliput ribbon - I think this will rotate the screen 180degrees.
other than that, it looks fine. will start filling and sanding down more tonight. will post pics later.

Dash Fab
I picked up some loctite epoxy putty from lowe's last night and am going to start cutting up the dash kit tonight. I'm going to fit in the bybyte lcd frame and tack it up with some super glue, then use the epoxy to fill in the voids. sand it down. and then add some body filler after. sand it down. and hopeflly itll fit.
im still not sure what im gonna do about the dvd drive. i was going to add it to the dash, but i think i might just throw it in the center console, the smart slot, or the glove compartment.

Software
I put everything up in the spare bedroom. so i can start working on some stuff.
I put the new roadrunner (now renamed RideRunner) on the PC. I updated to winamp5. I had to mess with some stuff, but I got HD working out of the box. which was sweet.
i bought an xmdirect box at circuit city for 10 bucks this weekend.
ive run into a sound card issue. which is i only have 3 jacks. i thought i had 5. this presents a problem. for 1) the audio outputs i planned were three outs and 2 ins. so i need to do something. I'll either get a pcmcia or usb soundcard, or possibly the MJS line-in selector. Which may be the better option. Much more expandable and I think the quality of the on-board will be fine.
I'm ordering some epoxy putty to fab the dash.
