It was a rainy morning so I did a full delete of the sound generator.

I love the clean look!

You can also smoke a cigarette while filling a gas tank ..... just don't light it there .....

Well, yes, if you keep in mind that only the gasoline fumes can explode .....

See ....... it's just a one beer job ...... or your last beer job ...... if you do it wrong ......

Installed a back up camera in the spot where the lock for the trunk is. Finished just a couple minutes ago just took some quick pictures. Still need to tidy some things up.

After testing it multiple times suddenly grid lines appeared marked .5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.

Camera I used was given to me from a friend just came with the plain RCA jack for video and the wires for power and ground.

Another friend cut the wires and soldered on the connectors to be used with the pins behind the head unit and the connection by the drivers foot well.

I was with Farmers Insurance until they raised my home owner's policy 18% this year. I've never had a claim. Checked rates with numerous companies and Liberty Mutual was the cheapest in TN. I saved $360./yr on auto and home insurance.
Part of that savings was an instant 10% off and a possible 30% off by installing their RightTrack devices on the ODB-II ports of my 2 vehicles for 3 months.
Your discount is based on four key characteristics of your driving - hard braking, rapid acceleration, time of day, and miles driven. We'll see how it goes.
https://www.libertymutual.com/rightt...ghttrack-works

The tracker is small and should not get in the way.
