Default Help me hunt something down...

What up guys....ever since I installed my TV, I watch it when I am waiting for people....etc....I do this with the car off. I, being the paranoid dude that I am, am always afraid that my battery will die.

So....I need one of you fine fine peoples...to...

go to your car....open the radio door....see the spot in the middle...its sorta cut out in a U shape....I need a volt meter that can fit in there, and the door still be able to close.


Basically, I need a flat volt gauge. By flat, i mean thin.
Happy hunting...

Whoever lands the one I buy, gets a 6 pack when I see them.


GO!

Hey Dave,

Came across this on the internet. Looks cool. It is 1" deep, don't know if that is too much. I'll keep my eyes open.

I have a feeling you are going to have to do a bit of a "homemade" solution. You are probably going to have to mount a remote LCD to the door and then run the wires to the board/rest of unit mounted elsewhere. I would check some electronic hobby websites and see if you can find a cheap voltmeter electronics kit. Here is one I found but it might be too big.

CanaKit

Hope this helps
