I put the switches in the arm rest and kept the ash tray module intact in the original position. I have to make new stops and add a release mechanism for the shortened ash tray. I also need to paint it and the whole console.
I intend to make another one like yours and leave out the ash tray mechanism, move the lighter and passenger air bag light.
I am not sure which style I will keep in the car, each has its merits.


The second variation of a Double DIN face-plate.
Both versions have been undercoated and just need a finish coat. The lighter and passenger airbag warning light have since been added to this later version.
