    new android touchscreen gps stereo integrated faceplate i've been working on

    This is the first one I have done and it involved cutting up the original faceplate, glueing in some pre cut plastic to suit the screen size, body filler and sanding and although the shape is good it looked pretty messy, could have painted it black or silver but decided to put a fibre wrap over...

    VE Dash Swap Over

    you can still swap over the centre dash console components if you prefer that look I did it to mine, you can use the same stereo from the omega so you dont need to program the stereo but you may need to program your vin to the lcd.

    can I swap the centre dash display

    there is a plastic duct that connects to the back of the vent that lines it up with the main air duct as the ss vents are lower than the omega you need the ss duct in order for it to fit, its screws in perfectly to the omega main duct and lowers it to line up with the vents.

    yes those buttons are eliminated with exception of the volume knob/menu selection knob which is relocated underneath the faceplate and the radio scan buttons also underneath.
