Item 35 from the list - the AV selector for the various audio/visual sources to play on the nav headunit.
initially I was going to use a 3 source selector with wired remote buttons, but I could not fit the remote anywhere to make it look decent...
so, I went for this unit:
4 Port 4x1 RCA Composite Video Audio Manual Control Selector Switch Switcher Way | eBay
it is a black box with 4 inputs and one output.
Since most of my AV wiring is happening in the center console, I decided to fit the AV selector in there... I removed the box that held the CDs, opened up the cover of the selector, ground a little bit the edges of the selector's box, and fitted the open selector into the gutted CD box.
The only modification to the CD box is a drilled hole to allow passage of the AV cables into the cavity (not on the pictures yet, I will be doing it tomorrow). The hole does not affect the factory designed operation of the CD box, and the entire set up can be reversed back to the original, factory specs without any sacrifice or any seriously modified parts...
On these pictures the box is not fully snapped into the storage bin yet, as I need to re-install the spring that pushes out the CD "cassette" - since the front fascia of the selector was a bit too narrow, it did not fill the available opening of the CD box, so reinstalled one of the CD cassettes, and it still did not cover the gap that can be seen there - i will be thinking about this gap and what i can use to cover it up...
I will be drilling a hole for the AUX input, into the metal fascia of the AV input, this way I will not put any hole onto the plastic of the car and will have an option to re-route the AUX in the future, if I care to do so...
Once I snap the wires together and put the storage bin into the central console, drill a hole and install AUX, I will update this post...
