I'll just let the pictures do the talking. I've wanted to get rid of the cig assembly for a LONG time. I finally did it. yay.
First off, here it is without the lighter tray. The radio is a Pioneer DEH-6200BT with HUmount.
And here it is finished. I didn't get a full night shot so combine these two photos in your head lol. The power unit is a super cheap one from ebay. I intended the first one only to be a mockup prototype but it worked so well that I wont need another.
This was the prototype made of plywood.
This is the stock wire harness. Its perfect for what I wanted it for so I used it. The cig lighter is a constant 12Volts and the light socket is a dimable .5-12Volts:
I pressed a piece of steel into the plexi glass with heat. The power unit bolts on to this:
This is the back of the finished unit. It will plug in just as the stock cig lighter would. It also mounts with the same two screws as the stock unit:
I wrapped the plexi with carbon fiber vinyl to make it look nice. I'll be replacing the incandescents in the kick panels and under the panel here with red LEDs:
Mounted the droid while I had the dash torn apart. The mic for the stereo, usb charge cable, and aux in cable lead to the stereo and power panel.
The Bluetooth OBDII unit is on its way from China:
I had some leftover carbon fiber vinyl so I did these for the hell of it.
Actually, the bigger piece didn't work so well in the end so I had to take off the vinyl. It doesnt do so well with curves. It came undone on the inside corners. I coudn't figure out how to keep it from coming loose so I scrapped the idea. The small part looks great though.
