Default Who Is A Silly Boy

Hi All You Super Heroes,
We had the builders in today, rebuilding the front hall and fitting a new door, so I had to stay close for tea making duties. Not bad really 'cos the sun was shining and it was rather warm.
Took advantage and changed the supply for the dash camera to the roof electrics (Thanks to Scott ) and added a remote emergency event button to the dash, the one on the camera is awkward to reach in a hurry.
Then spent some time working in the boot trying a camera to use as a reversing aid. It worked better than expected, even used a transmitter on the camera video output and it's matching receiver as an input to Aux 2 on the Analogue TV Tuner. Now if I could find an ignition hot in the boot I would be a very happy bunny.
I thought that the Nav DVD reader supply would be just what was needed. Took the unit out, unplugged the supply and checked. Bummer, it was always on, no good for me. While it was out I decided to rip out and throw away the very badly fitted tracker gear that had been fitted from new. Then refitted the Nav DVD player. Put all the tools away, made another brew, and went out for some paint for the new woodwork.
Tried the event button, the camera said event recorded, wow! success.
Then realised the MMI screen had not come up, no music. Pressed radio, then all the other buttons, still no screen. Pressed the screen open button and up came the screen but it was blank. Tried all sorts of chants, incantations, swear words (even invented some) and then pleaded for divine intervention. Of course, all to no avail, I was in deep dooh dah, she is gonna kill me, where is my passport, I need to start running away.
Had to resort to undo everything I had done and fortunately working backwards the first thing was Nav DVD player out. There it was, the culprit.
Well it was me really, hands up Guv.
I had forgotten to plug the supply back in to the Nav DVD player.
Hence the subject name.
