Skip to the break for the meat and potatoes

I just wanted to drop a quick update, I got the monitors installed for Xmas, the christmas eve "quick" install went well, until I got to the power / ethernet controller I built that live in the center console.

I used a flora as the brains for it (because it was an extra from another project) it worked perfectly inside, but as soon as I installed it into the car....... DEAD

Yikes, ok change of plan, I hardwired the headrest/media players to the accessory line, yucky, because I dont like random shutdowns, or the power loss from swapping from accessory mode to run mode, or vice versa.

I just spent 2 hours trying to track down my stash of PICs, finding on the proccess, *14* propeller boards of various shapes and sizes, almost all of which could do what I need the to do, but I didnt WANT to throw a prop in, for such a simple task......

Well, sometimes you have to try and fail because now I have overspent time on this, because I didnt want to spec in a nuke where a dart would do.... Oh well
