That security film. . . Is it clear, or tinted? I've never heard of it.
Its clear. made by autotint. my glass is tinted anyway so i didnt want to tint it anymore.

I'm still debating whether I'm going to transplant my stereo from my water-pumper into the beetle. If I do, I'm definitely going to put the CD player in the glovebox.
Worth it. All my stereo etc is totally hidden from sight. had to manufacture my own stereo glovebox bits as you cant get stereo glovebox kits for 1303's!!

I had a friend with an old Landcruiser that had a wire hanging out of his dash that looked like crap. Only thing was that you had to touch that to a certain small portion of the dash to start the car. That was pretty ingenius. (I thought)

So I'm trying to come up with some clever ideas like that, but hopefully a bit cleaner!
Good plan. Use a little circuit and a magnetic reed switch hidden behind an area of the dash. Have a magnet on your keyring with your keys that you either swipe across the area (latches the circuit so you can start the car, drops again after about 2 mins) or you have to leave the magnet in place....
