LightningGSX how have you solved this mystery in the past with mounting the screens and such. I took off the steering wheel and saw that rotating thingy that the srs wire and cruise control go through but how do you add wires to go through there? Any suggestions would be great.
I disassemble the air bag clockspring(rotating thingy), rig up sliding contacts using either conductive epoxy or adhesive backed copper foil.Its not easy at all and considering the AFC has both chassis and signal grounds, I'm not sure if it would like the sliding contacts.

I believe some vehicles with other controls in the steering wheel(radio, temp, etc) have clocksprings with enough wires to run the AFC.I've always wanted to check them out but never had a chance.Maybe hit up a junkyard and find a clockspring off one of those vehicles and make it work on your car.That would be the easiest and most reliable way I can think of.
