Tips required to make a double din face plate
Re: Tips required to make a double din face plate
Glad I could help, will see if I can find any more angles.
Keep me posted on your progress.
What are you planning with the hazard light switch?
So, making a tray where cup holder goes that pulls up and is tyhe switch panel?
Would a triangular panel work there also, that rolls, one side smooth and can leave facing up, roll one way and the switches rotate up, the 3rd side is for wiring.
Make any sense to you?
Have a vivid pic in my head and mounting.

The tray flange would be a little thicker than the flange of the little cubby that replaces the cup holder.
The triangular idea has problems with the plug area being quite deep.
Dash cam and other functions built into rear view mirror
I just took a look at the TEQ stone dash cam which provides front & rear dash cam; gps; video playing, down loading of android apps as unit is android based. Selling for $119 on amazon. Clips on to your existing mirror. Looks interesting.

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.
