I plan on removing the gear shift and putting a remote head for a radio there. Going to aim for an all-band Motorola APX. We'll see how my tax return is first!
I'm not the original poster of this thread. Maybe read the rest of the thread before you post.
Whelp, don't have sync, so didn't bother with that. I wired one of the 12v plugs and I got the model without the ambient lighting. I plan to make a harness so I can wire up the rest of the power points and the USB plug just to provide power for charging my phone.
did you ever do a write up cant find one
I have not yet, life has gotten in the way, unfortunately.
Yes. I did mine without removing the seats. You'll have to move them all the way forward and backwards throughout the install, but it's possible. It's not easy, but it's possible.
You can do the swap without removing any seats. For removing from the donor car pop off the two side panels, they are held on with clips only. This will reveal 8 10mm bolts. on each side there are 3 going into the console and 1 going into the dash. They are easy to spot and not too hard to access using a short socket and ratchet. There are also some plugs and 2 Christmas tree clips to remove. Be sure to pull the two mounting brackets from the donor car as well that are bolted into the floor under the console. If you already bought the console and did not get the brackets you can get away without them since you will be bolting it into the lower dash as well as the rear bracket which is welded onto the seat support bar on every PUI already. It will just wiggle less if you can get the other two brackets.
