For my next tv install project going underway starting tomorrow night, I will be relocating the climate control to either one of two places...

1.) where the map lights/sunglass holder is
-OR
2.) in the center console.

I am not too sure what to do at this point, but either way I am moving the digi climate control, and putting the radio in place of it, and installing the the tv in the double din slot.

this will be a huge project, for on top of all that, i will be installing a car computer in my glove box with GPS. i have planned this project out for quite some time, but there only remains this for an issue. i have taken one week off from work so i can dedicate the time to this project. if anyone has any input, advice, sugestions, or comments, please let me know! thanks..

 

Ive definitely thought about doing this more than once. I hadnt thought about the sunglass holder as a spot for it, but that would be awesome if you could get it to fit there. I kind of doubt you will get it in there though, but the center console shouldnt be too bad, just extending wires and making it look nice.

 

oh, i can do it. its just do i WANT to do it. lol. i have one day to decide... then it is no looking back...

 

hmm cranston huh?...my grandparents live in warwick, and if you get the a/c controls up there, it might be time for a visit to them, or you might have to send me your fiberglass mold so i can do it

 

how hard is to to relocate the climate controls? I've wanted to put them in the place where the sunglass holder is but i didnt know how hard it would be to run everything there

 

not too sure, But I am going to find out. tomorrow marks the day in which I will start this huge project. i just hope 5 days will be enough to complete it.

when i built this, it took me a full 5 days, so i am guessing that i will need more time since this project will be a lot more labor intensive.



I will take pics as I make progress in this project. i may even do a write up if it come out good enough.

 

we might be able to work something out...

 

Count me in too, dude...good luck with it!

 

I don't know whose max this is, but...

 

OMFG thats crazy, where did you find that

f*ckin awesome...hangs down low but still awesome

 

Well, I have been working on this pretty much all day today... and I really have not done too much.

I am trying to figure out the best way to do this install. I am taking my time, just like I do with any of my projects. Below are some pictures I took really quick. I have spent the bulk of my time in fabrication, and discovering the best way to secure everything in place in preparation for fiber glassing. I have constructed some dummy molds out of plastic/cardboard, but I decided that was not the best way to go about it. I think I have a good idea how to do this, however I will post my idea when it is in the works/more concrete.


Pics:

used a dremel to modify the climate control face plate:


using bottom of face plate for a template for the radio. the radio bezel will be molded into the faceplace.


climate control will be like this:

Can't wait o see how this turns out, man...been waiting for someone to do this. I am hoping for the best with your project!!!!!

 

Oh, and mad props for doing this in an apartment!

 

Give me one million-trillion-billion-trobbalabadoillion-shubablaluion dollars!

HAHA

Nice project you got there! I can't wait to see it when it's done!

 

lol... I was wondering who was going to have a good enough eye to pick out what movie i was watching!

thanks my vacation ends this saturday, I hope it will be done by then..

 

thats not my apartment.... thats my bedroom. I live with my mom...

 

damn dude what size is that monitor...looks huge....it looks like a lilliput too....is it? lol

 

good eye... it is a lilliput 7" touch screen. I previously had a microvison 7" tv in my car with the custom mold shown above, but i decided to put a computer in my car, so i upgraded.
