Radio placement is still pending and I will post pix when I get that done.
I really like how the 4th gens looked with the 7" TVs in their dashes. I want to place the radio where the climate control is but I've never done fiberglassing.

Here are some picutures.

 

I would keep in the glove box. Looks good.

 

Talk to Metal Maxima bout fiberglassing... But looks good man.

 

I was thinking about that. I temporarily put it in the glove box. I really don't want it to be there because I'd have to have it opened to operate the radio even with the remote.

 

wAT SCREEN IS THAT???

 

very clean fitment. nice work....so far

 

what dash kit did you use?

 

GXE dash kit.

 

What did you use you use to fill up the rest of the dash piece?

 

what i would give to have my max just like yours polak, that screen is looking good. if you dont use your cupholders often you can try putting your cd player in there, lots of work but you will probably be the first to do it. and if you do use those cupholders you could always use the ones in the back they arent all that hard to get to

 

I don't understand what you are trying to say....

Is this what you are talking about?

That is very true. I do think it would take lots of work, but it would be worth it. I'm going to gather some ideas then eventually try something.

 

LikeI know the GXE kit. But it looks like there is an inner bezel. Is that just the housing for the screen? Here is a pic:

 

That's a part of the TV.

 

Oh ok I was just wondering because after Christmas I will be building a carputer and I was going to buy the GXE trim and I just wanted to see how you made it fit so flush. Thanks.

 

Carputers are sick my bro has one. What brand are you using?

 

the eddie bauer ford exploders, have a 6 disk changer in the center cosole. it would not be hard to make an mdf bracket to house your headunit, and stick it in there. you may be able to use a remote to control everything, without having to open the center cosole.

 

what's an mdf bracket?

 

1/4" (medium density fiber). it's basically plywood made from wood shavings and pressed together. cheaper than using real wood, and works just as well in not too demading applications. or you could use plywood too.

 

i wonder who is the faster tv-equiped maxima....

 

Damn that looks Sick

 

Sweet setup MaximaPolak! What if you used the small form factor radio from Nav-equipped Maximas and relocated your climate controls to the map lights area? I think that would work out great.

 

from the 01 GXE correct?

edit: nvm, saw the link above

 

That was my original plan. I've never done fiberglass work so I wouldn't be able to make something for the climate controls.

 

Ohh and by the way. So the remote for the TV still works, I drilled a small hole in the middle of the dash kit and used the red sticker from the TV to cover it.

 

Polak, here is an awesome tutorial on how build a custom fiberglass bezel. http://mp3car.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=29450 ..... I think there were more tutorials on that site about moving climate controls etc, so justt look around and you will find some. They have a lot of cool projects there. They had a guy on that site move his climate controls in his BMW to the cup holders. I will try to find the link.

 

- not yet finish made mistake with the caution button there.

 

wow, great job!!

 

is ur stock radio in there..? so why the after market.. are u plning the same thing putting screen idea..?

 

looks nice how long did it take you to do it?

 

that steering wheel cover is ugly

 

yeah that's why i put hte stereo there. Gonna put a Carputer in there. Just planning ahead. Just giving maximapolak some idea of where he can put his HU and still access it easily

 

I was thinking of making something out of wood and then covering it in Carbon Fiber.

Throw some more ideas at me.

I like that alot, but how do the CDs come out when you're in Park?
How is it secured in there?

 

cd comes out. just enough. Very secure. I'm gonna make a bracket for it to bolt it on the inside so it doesn't move anywhere. That spot is just perfect for a HU, fits perfectly and holds it tight. You're also goin to need to cut part of the bracket that holds on the climate control and the HU

 

I did this about 2 years ago. Never got the glassing done for the deck replacing the ashtray. So I scrapped it and got an AVN. Never looked back....

If you have any questions, let me know.

You need to cut some stuff behind the ashtray to make the deck fit...

Install of a carputer on a F350, I'm very impressed and I'm thinking of doing the same thing to my Maxima in the future.

 

linky no worky.

 

Let's see some pics.

 

what's a carputer?

 

screen looks nice. Next you should hook up a rear-view video camera to the 'puter so you can film the cars u dust
