Good evening,

since I didn't like my first uart port solution on the 0803 I decided to do it better.
(my soldering skills are bad :p)
I used the cables of a CAT5 ethernet cable. I stole GND from the Card Reader since there is not enough space for three wires :D

Note: I removed the HDMI connector since I don't need it. Thats were I added the console port.

With soldered wires:

Then I secured the soldered points:

And thats the result:

Unfortunately I ****ed up the front case with my first solution:

So if someone has a spare front I'd love you for donating it to me :D
