sorry if i have missed it some where but i have been looking all over the Threads. How is your DAC running into the Head unit, via 3.5mm jaco or can you digitally transfer it in?

So i've been thinking about doing something like this as well with my Nexus, however I would put in in the passenger dash piece since i want to leave my upgraded audio alone / seperate.

Thinking about fiberglassing a tray for it, angled at the driver for Torque, etc.

Do you know if ALL head units are too wimpy to supply the correct amperage via USB for charging?

Looking to play with this here soon.

If you're putting it on the passenger side, wouldn't it be even easier to run it into the glove box? It'll only cost you a few extra bucks for a cigarette lighter adapter that'll supply you enough power.

Probably. But i'd love to not have to add more stuff.

I gotta get an extra dash piece ordered so i can play with this here soon.

Post some pics of your install when you're done. I would love to see it.

Absolutely. My GT6 Racing Sim seat/setup ended up being my project last month. So much fun.

Gotta see the sim setup! I've been doing iRacing lately and really want to build something for that.

I made it out of PVC and picked up an RSX-S Seat. Works great now, even though I only have it screwed together and not cemented. I will be taking it apart and painting it at some point too. Just gotta space out my pedals a bit and i'll be golden. Had to build it in the basement where i have limited space because i'm finishing another part of the basement (stuff all over) and it's too cold to do in the garage.

Anyways - here are the progression pics -

Looks great man. Doing a dry-fitting without PVC cement isn't a bad idea. Now that you know it all fits together you can make some reference marks, pull it apart, then glue it back together for a perfect fit.

Thanks! I still use it all the time, it's so much fun. The only thing i'm thinking now is building small PC and getting it on there with the PS3. I know GT6 is pretty good about being realistic, but a bunch of my friends have been doing Iracing (PC only) so i might have to check that out.

Still want to get it painted and cemented too.
