Help: Picture of centre dash console required

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I need a picture of the centre console with the ashtray and lighter removed, to understand how much cutting is required to remount the stereo in the ashtray position?

 

Can anyone help?

 

Cheers

I've done this in mine! Not loads of cutting to be fair, but you need to mount it quite low to clear the screws under the heater controls

Dinkus, are you selling this? Does it matter if you have early/late interior? Mine is late BTW.

 

I think it might be easier to have a practice run!

 

Let me know price etc

 

Cheers

something like this?

 

i used a soldering iron with a fine tip for the larger sections and a dremmel for the finer stuff

 

i had to dremmel a little bit out at each side to accomodate the bezel for the bottom headunit

 

the heater controls are being replaced with the seat climatronic controller at the moment so it will look a bit different at e38

...seat climatronic?? Sounds impressive...wassit? :)

 

And Lippy - I think about 4 people asked me for it ages ago, but I couldn't get the damned thing out of the dash til this week.

 

I guess you can have it if you want it tho - £35

Ohh ok - Seat Climatronic, not seat Climatronic! I thought you had some sophisticated bum-heating/cooling system... :lol:
