TOS DSM Racing white cover for factory guages...not pictured are matching TOS guages for exhaust temp, intake temp, boost, air/fuel, and fuel pressure all mounted in the driver's side A-pillar.

The Sony ES C90 headunit. This isn't no x-plode unit. Just the headunit with the processor was well over $2,000 (http://www.carreview.com/cat/car-audio/cd-receivers/sony-style/PRD_16077_2861crx.aspx).
Below that (behind the motorized door with the hand painted "Screamin' Eagle" logo) is a remote for the Orion Concept 97.2 (DEQ-30). A complex cable had to be made by hand to join the remote to the main DEQ-30 unit which is mounted in the rear seat back.

The Sony joystick remote. The headunit also had a wireless remote that is kept in the console.

The LCD monitor for the headunit. It can display just about everything from either the Sony headunit, a rear facing camera mounted in the hatch's keyhole, or the TV tuner that is connected.
Next to it is a V1 radar detector, the best :)

Covers off to show circuit breaker and GAP 15 Farad capacitor. Not shown is a second Optima red top battery that is under the factory cover directly below the cap. This second battery is vented to the outside (yes, I know, Optima batteries do not have hazardous gases but was vented because of USACi and IASCA rules). Between the two batteries are two battery isolators and two circuit breakers (once again, I know only one of each are needed but for competion points, one of each are mounted in the car and the other set is mounted under the hood by the first battery)

Custom covers made with factory matching cloth. (unless you have 5.1 in a car, rear speakers are NOT needed (or wanted))

I had the center console panel of so I took this picture. It shows the Sony MD changer....MDs....never skips. Sony's MD lost to the CD even though the MDs were better. MDs are smaller, don't scratch, and never skip.

Hey I have a question for a fellow Talon owner, I have a 94 and right under the RPM gauge there is a amber light with a picture I have never seen before, It comes on when I first start it and stays on till the car warms up then goes off, any idea what this light is for ? It kinda looks like a air filter ? ? I'm guessing and I did change the air filter with a new one still stays on.

Hey man nice talon. I as well have a 1992 tsi and am trying to put together a sound system in it. I am having a bit of trouble getting the power wire from the battery through the firewall. I have tried to put it through where the main harness goes but it is too tight and im not sure where or if i should drill a hole. Any sugestions would be very appreciated. Thanks, Tom.
