OK, so I have the two pieces installed and see video on the screen.
I will run the cameras this week-end.
Had to put the HDMI box inside to the right of the opening, [ left of the steering column ]
The put the OBD2 blue box back behind the OBD2 plug. It pulls forward when I open the slot.
The hung the 360 box just inside the opening, because I have other Tesla modules behind it.
Just in case of service.
I will determine how to cool it and/or mount it later.
Could not put the HDMI box in the opening by the door where the key fob sensor is located, it is too thick.
Put the IR sensor under my center console

Starlog,
Sorry for the late reply! I had to get on a flight to Hong Kong...
It looks like you did almost exactly what I did! I strapped the 360 module to the exact same location. I did put the blue CANBus interface inside and just routed the cable, however. Great minds think alike, apparently.
Regarding the grommet location, I believe that was it.. however mine happened to have a plastic tube running through it, for what I don't know. Sorry I'm not home or I'd try to snap some pics for you.
Regarding the recording, yes it does record all four cameras. I haven't used a USB stick yet, I've been using a 256GB microSD card but it's been a little flakey either because of a hardware problem or possible the size being too big. I keep getting "insert card" in the screen and then sometimes it works and it let me format it and record. You can play back in the interface although it's a little wonky to work with and I've not yet pulled the card to check what the files are like. Supposedly the system has a g-force shock sensor and a parking mode but I've not yet had the chance to play as I'll be overseas for a couple weeks.

For the USB extension cables, my plan is to use something like this for the microUSB (for firmware updates):
https://www.amazon.com/Female-Exten...e+panel+mount&qid=1566961308&s=gateway&sr=8-3
and mounting it on the bottom plastic cover under the steering wheel.
And something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Extension-NC...KHKB58XSHAAJBP&psc=1&qid=1566961465&s=gateway
for the USB memory stick, I'd thought about using a panel-mount version but I didn't want the USB stick to poke into the footwell area so I was going to find a way to stick it on flat against the panel.
If I got crazy and wanted to have a switchable input for an AppleTV or something I was thinking about using this:
https://www.amazon.com/JideTech-Per...remote+wired&qid=1566961601&s=gateway&sr=8-13
Which is a little pricey, but has a remote wired button I can put somewhere convenient to switch between the 360 box and an external input. I still haven't figured out what I'm going to do for audio as the Tesla bluetooth doesn't sync audio properly (at least with my iPhone) so the video and audio are not synchronized. Its a shame as it would really be the best option vs using a clunky FM tuner. There are some cheaper options without the long cables but the button is integrated into the box and I'd have to solder a remote button to it (still might to make the installation cleaner).

Regarding the Samsung interface, unfortunately my family is all Apple users so my plan was to build in an AppleTV which would allow wireless Airplay streaming from our phones if we needed that or direct play of content from the AppleTV. I'd guess you'd need to buy a
Samsung USB-C to HDMI adapter to directly connect or perhaps get a
Miracast HDMI dongle which can allow you to wirelessly stream with no cables. You'd need to test to see if BearBU's HDMI box provides enough power to run the Dongle and you'd also need to figure out how you will do audio much like myself either through bluetooth, FM injector, or some other yet undiscovered method to get an "aux" in.
