I am going to do that, but how do you get the wires right so you can twist them around you know? the wires will move when you turn the wheel...how do you get them to stay untangled?

I don't know how, but you could give it an extra few inches of slack so they can twist and then twist back.
Someone else probably has a better idea than that though

i thought of that too...someone on gagt did it, and i cant find who now, im guessing thats what im going to have to do, have like 2-3 feet of extra wire maybe...im not sure...

your horn and airbag wires work with this thing called a clock spring. It lets the wheel turn and has wires that turn with it wired into the spring that goto the stable wires....youll have to wire it through that.

You have one, stock, that the airbag uses, so just wire your wires the same way the airbag ones are.

maybe you could use the stock airbag clock spring

edit: damnit, jordan beat me to it!

hmmmm sounds pretty cool but thats illegal around here!!! not sure about there but theres a law that there can be no TV or distractive screen type that the driver can see!!!

yeah its not legal but hell neither is blue/purple headlights, loud stereo's, altered exhaust (anything that is not stock sounding it illegal), tinted windows, and open bottle of nitrous oxide....well ive got all those lol so a tv is not going to hurt...although i did get pulled over when i had one on my dash

wiring's the easy part. getting it to look like a pimp daddy install is the hard part. i'm working on flush mounting a tv in my glove box lid and it's tedious work. but good luck

yeah im sure its not easy....i have a friend...well two of them that are big time into body work...they both told me for a case of beer they will mold it into there as long as i worry about the wiring...i wonder if i could fit a 7"...i havent measured it yet...
