Thanks. You'll really know when you go to adjust them. If they seems weird or off, re mount them. I adjusted on the fwy and that's when it went sour haha

Packed my "Z" for an 11-day Road Trip to Calif starting tomorrow! Appx 2,600 miles 1-way.
One doesn't attend one's 50th HS Reunion every day!

My CarPC has achieved first boot!!!

I spent a lot of time this weekend finalizing all the last little bits and pieces, making sure the wires were hooked up correctly, etc. I had wired the reverse camera's power backwards, the HDMI connector had come loose, and the case for the PC was too big too fit, just to name a few issues I ran into.

As promised, here is a series of videos that I've uploaded to show the progression of the work. If you just want to see it in operation, jump to part 8:

Part 1 - New back seat
Part 2 - CR-Z CarPC Dash
Part 3 - Harnesses
Part 4 - Cable harnesses in place
Part 5 - Power Control Module - Bench Testing
Part 6 - Main wiring finished!
Part 7 - Power Control Module - All done!
Part 8 - First boot!

Got my order in from BatchPCB today!! It's -insanely- better than trying to hand wire things. In literally 20 minutes I had the whole thing soldered together, and all features are working except for the rotary encoder.

accelerometer - working, with 'transient event detection'
compass - working
2 buttons with LEDs - working
relay - working
rotary encoder - rotation works, but the LED output is wrong and it isn't detecting button presses

I had a couple things on the board sized incorrectly, but nothing that I couldn't bend a pin a bit and get to fit, and now that I have components placed I realize that some of my silk screens are covered up. Just your typical first-run issues.

I had -ONE- incorrectly placed trace.

It was failing to recognize the button presses, so it wasn't scrolling through colors correctly. It's been fixed and now everything on the board is working!

Get my new black floor matts, black middle console and OEM mud flaps. I just put in the matts the rest will be done at the weekend.

I bought a thin rubber mat to place at the bottom of the floor, then placed the stock CRZ mat over that, and lastly another carpet cover. I want to keep this as clean as possible. Oh yeah, I filled up the tank (9.364 gallons) for the very first time after since I got this. I got 341 miles on the fill up from the dealership.
