Have any of you seen one of these units?



I just purchased one and will be finding somwhere to mount it... I will get it to work! It looks like it might even fit into an extra slot in my computer LOL... anyhow, I'll let you all know how it goes in a couple weeks... that is if anybody else shows interest...

came out of a Taurus didn't it, THE BEST IDEA i can say is that you should mount it ABOVE an after market radio some how because the after market radio will be smaller then the stock one,
just a thought, you will need to adjust the angle but should work.

Yeah, under the passenger side dash is probably where it's going... just under that pad I'm thinking... maybe make up a fiberglass thing to blend it in.

I got the dimensions on the unit, it's 7.5" Wide, 2" High, 8" Deep.

A smaller one (cupholder only) from a Nissan Altima or similar vehicle can be mounted above the stereo (non stock units) which are narrower. Pics later

Oops forgot your car is'nt a Camaro.....Try under the padded dash that's a good location just right of your middle vents

Well, I looked behind the panel under the pad yesterday and it looks like a pretty solid place... gotta cut through some sheet metal, but that will offer rigidity. It's kinda funny, cause my friend and I were cruising down the Interstate (at 80 MPH )and I was telling him about the cupholder, so he asked me if the panel came off (he owns a mustang) and he tugs on it and it comes off in his hand... I say "well it was bolted on, but I guess it does now" LOL, nothing a little double sided tape or glue wont fix.
