so epic fail with the 'wire cut' mod. must have cut the wrong wire. when i flicked the switch, it dropped a cylinder lol
anyway, installed a western digital live media player in the car. works fine, mounted up front in one of those waste-of-space pocket things. cut out a hole (nice and bodgey) and mounted it in there.
im getting a bit of noise in the picture so ill have to use a sheilded co-ax cable to the back of the car.
