My Auto's Player Version 1

After adding a Ice Blue LCD Back light kit
Inside View	I worked on this for some time. Currently I use this to test LCD Kits I still have it. Someday I might finish it.

Below is pictures of the power distribution and signal switching board that I made
	This is the top of the board. The board was laid out using AutoCAD 14. I masked it with stuff I got from Radio Shack and a etch resist marker that did so so on the ground plane of the board. (See streaks where the etch got through.)
	This is the bottom of the board. This is the first board that I have made since High school (17 years, god I'm getting old) and the first double sided board.
Below is pictures of the finished, Component added, board.

The small Lambda DC-DC converter is a 8-18VDC to 5VDC 2 amp type it supplies the 5VDC
to the harddrive removable cart. The larger relay switches power from my radio/CD to the
MP3 player when the player is turned on. The smaller relay is a DPDT relay to switch the
Left and Right Audio signals from the radio/CD to the MP3 Player.

This Lambda DC-DC converter is a 8-18VDC to 12VDC 2.5 amp type it supplies the 12VDC
to the harddrive removable cart and the PJRC board. Using this supply to feed the PJRC
board adds a little extra isolation from the varying DC of my vehicle.The extra copper area is
for added circuits as needed. I have already found the need for a shutdown mute circuit to
prevent a large DC surge from hitting my amp when the power is turned off to the MP3
Player.

Below is a picture of stage 2 of my project
	The power distribution and signal switching board is mounted with the PJRC board right to the removable cart using 2 different types of standoffs. In Stage 3, I will be putting this in a case. Stage 4 will be mounting the LCD and switches in a small thin case to be remote located in the vehicle.
