Gameboy Sat Nav

I decided to take an old sat nav (Navigon 1210) I had laying around and fit the internals into an original Gameboy for a retro look. I was not too difficult more time was spent modifying the case as there was very little soldering.
I have added some high resolution pictures with descriptions but the video contains all the info and steps taken to complete this project.

Cutting out the space for the larger LCD.

Two wires need to be soldered on to the tactile switch so you can bypass with a new one.

Cut out for the SD card slot.

Dummy buttons glued in place, speaker and extended speaker wires.

LCD held in place with hot glue.

Sat nav motherboard seated into Gameboy with extension wires for on/off switch.

Gameboy switch is now a push in action for on/off.

Dummy contrast wheel next to new SD slot.

Gameboy sat nav finished mounted in the car.
