...cramped in my miata with a flashlight hanging out of my mouth,...

I think we self-installers all know this scenario... It's totally dark, the car's cabin light is really not bright. In the one hand you are holding 5 cables and in the other hand you've got a screw driver or any other tool and in your mouth there's the flashlight. Sometimes it slips a bit and doesn't spot where you want and sometimes it falls down on the floor. But not without missing to shine directly in your eyes so that you see a bright dot everywhere you look for a while...

But isn't the best thing to connect the last cable, then connect the unit and try if it works - always with a small feeling of doubt if you 've done everything right to not blow up your new unit... No - you check it once again and then when you're sure you switch on the new unit... And it works And you remember back to the days when you have made your first install and you switche on the unit and after a short flash everything went dark - except the flashlight...
