**one:** My new Cabrio came home today. I was wrong on a few of the details: It’s a 1997, black exterior, black top, light tan leather interior, 88000 miles, five speed, 2.0l. I got it cheap because it was in a minor accident (everything behind the bumper is fine, including the radiator). I have no idea what I’m going to do with it, but I’ll probably put a MK3 Jetta front on it and have the car resprayed black. I’d love to paint it copper, or Supersonic Blue, but I want to keep my investment as minimal as possible. **two:** I tested the wiring I did for my in-dash DVD player tonight and everything seems fine _except_ I need to defeat the parking brake switch to watch movies. The switch is set to accept the sequence of “Brake on, brake off for 3-5 seconds, Brake on”. I’m thinking of wiring up a toggle with “Brake on/Brake off” as the two settings, and manually performing the sequence when I want to watch DVDs. Anyone have any experience with something like that? I have a few days before I can get a Metra dash kit, so I’ll have some time to play with the wiring. **three:** Captain Morgan Tattoo and Coke Zero is a little gross. Especially on top of a shitload of KFC. **four:** Anyone ever hear of/see a Sirius antenna installed through the roof instead of running the cable through a seal? I’m thinking about going to Dodge, Mazda, and Chrysler tomorrow to see how the OEM antennas mount. I’m getting tired of water dripping onto my hatch cover. ---

So you want to defeat the switch so you can watch while driving? Have you considered putting the Sirius antenna inside somewhere? I have mine on the deck by the rear window (since the glass doesn’t open). Also temporarily put one on the dash of a rental car and it worked fine there too. I didn’t like the idea of running the wire from the roof either. ---
