We're going to run the video RCA cable through this black 'caterpillar' wire casing, without cutting the connector head of the RCA cable. Pulling through these few inches took us about 10 minutes.

Big Bird and Snuffy now available on all 3 screens. There is an additional video booster added on to amplify the single pre-out video signal from the Sony XAV-W650BT to the dual monitor system. This should prevent any signal deterioration during the video data transmission process.
