KPV996TT Top Secret Electronic Installation Finally Disclosed
Well, it is finally done. It is funny how things work. I agonized for months over how I could accomplish what I was trying to achieve. Just the other day I had a revelation!!
I was stuck thinking UP>DOWN and should have been thinking SIDE>SIDE.
So, what took months to engineer, was scrapped in five minutes for a better design. It just goes to show, a little planning can go a long way!!!
So, without further adieu…….I present the KPV996TT Electronic Command Center (aka…Gumball3000 Stealth Turbo)!!!
Electronic Command Center:
The head unit plays DVD’s, CD’s and MP3’s. The LCD screen can display one of three things:
I got these ideas when I was in the 2002 Gumball3000 as I was trying to devise a more stealthy car.
Camcorder connections:
I have to give credit to FredTTX50 for this one. When I saw his installation, I loved it!!! I made a few modifications to his design and integrated into my system.
Sound System:
I posted some of the basic sound system aspects a while back but here they are with some additional ones as well.
Now don’t get me wrong here!! This project took a long time to plan out, construct and install. Some would be faint of heart if they were to see their car during the installation process. Since I have done this kind of thing before, it wasn’t too big of a stretch for me. YIKES!!

- Navigation Maps
- DVD video
- Camcorder input (typically a view out the front windshield)

Wow Ken...very James Bondesque!!! Which I had that set up today...Perhaps it would have helped me prevent my law enforcement situation today...Fortunatley, there is a six speed member that may be able to help my situation...Sadly, due to my driving indescretion last May and my newly added indescretion today, the combination of both may put my ability to participate in upcoming meets in jeopardy at least for now, since spirited driving at these meets may provide an unacceptable risk to my future driving privaleges...Bottom line, I may need to chill out to avoid any risk of getting new tickets...at least for now....

Ken
Thats what I mean, everytime I see pics of your car, it always looks better and better. All I have to say is WOW. Now the screen slides side to side in view mode and then when centered it presses flush with the rest of the dash? WOW
