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:

1. Navigation Maps
2. DVD video
3. Camcorder input (typically a view out the front windshield)

Behind the screen resides a Uniden BCT-7 Mobile Police Scanner and a K40 CB Radio. Oh, and don’t forget the V1 remote display at the bottom of the dash pod.

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!!

 

 

Bose vs. Focal

 

Sorry about that fifth picture. It was late, after our all day, rainy meet and I was tired.

 

Ken,

That is freaking amazing!!

How long did it take you to install everything??

 

i saw the slick install today and I was speechless - I have never seen anything so perfect -

 

the name is Bond...KPV Bond....

 

Ver nice Ken.

 

Now you just need a Bond chic to fondle all those electronics and say "ohhh Mr. KPV Bond, I'm so impressed with your handwork."

 

What, that's one of the stealthiest installs i've seen. Very nice work. Awesome new speakers too.

 

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....

 

That sucks man... how fast were you going over the speed limit?

 

Not to pirate Ken's thread...26 over posted limit...

Oh my god. Great work. you have everything you need in that car all your missing is a fax machine. SUPER

 

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
