12V outlet
heh... after you've taken your console out a couple times, hijacked the positive lead to it as an ignition signal, and cut out a few "accessories" around it, it is hard to miss...

ShellDude, nice setup!
Are you using a plug-in OBDII extension cable, or did you tap the wires behind the dash plug? (apologies if you've already answered this, I only searched your last 50 posts).
TIA.

I have an OBDII cable (scanalyser) that runs from my OBD port through my console to the RS232 port on my carputer.
That is a USB plug that is ran into the rear pass-thru where my carputer lives. If I want to hook up my AP to my OBD, I disconnect scanalyser cable and plug in the AP in place of it using its dongle. If I want to do live monitoring with Street tuner I smply plug my AP dongle into the OBD and run it to the USB port.
There's a 3.5mm stereo port right next to the USB port that I use for standard audio-in to my carpc.
On the other side of the USB port is my "dead man" switch that resets my carpc in the event of a Windows lockup (infrequent but does happen on rare occasion).
ha.. I can only imagine what you learned about me from my last 50 posts lol. I've been meaning to document my carpc build to some extent but haven't found the time.

and I was wondering why you didn't have a 12V adapter 
j/k ... too hard too resist.
RS232 = computer communications protocol and connector
carputer = car + computer
AP = Cobb AccessPort
dongle = doodad that connects your AP to your car
