G'Day all. I finished the installation of my center console today. :yeah:

I have received so many questions and comments about this, that I thought that it warranted a new topic. The facia is custom made, including drink holders which are typically reserved for vehicles with climate control. The facia for the radio recess was fabricated at Strathfield Car Radio. I also had the steering wheel controls modified to transmit an infra-red signal so that it can be detected by the DVD Headunit. I have attached some pictures below - hope you all like the results.

race4life: Yeah, it cost a bit - I stopped counting though so not to disuede me from completing it - lol :whistling
benzor: That dash is unreal - never seen anything like it before. There would be a considerable market niche for a product like that. :thumbsup:

Doesnt look straight, arght that would annoy the hell out of me, would of been nice if they fibreglassed/bogged it to contour it so it lookd stock.

Looks fantastic! Your eBay guide says fascias are availabe for a single-DIN CD player to suit VY & VZ models - where do I find one? I want something that looks as stock as possible.

Also, how did you get the cupholders in? Do you have to replace the entire surround for that? And where can I find the steering wheel remote converter? None of the local shops seem to have heard of it, which I find surprising.

Cheers for the comment! Yeah, you can buy pockets for Single DIN units at most good car stereo outlets. They also show up on eBay from time to time. The cupholders on the other hand are custom made. Give Nick at NVU a call on 0394661011. Will cost you $500-600. The steering wheel remote was specially ordered from Strathfield Car Radio - will cost you approx $300.

Holy crap there's some good $$ just in the cup holders and converter.

I really like the white instrument cluster in the top one, is that out of ahigher model or is it custom?

That second install looks sweet.

:confused: What he said - lol. The white instrument cluster is out of a VZ HSV Clubsport, as to are the binnacles.
