Hey I was just wondering if anyone has relocated their climate control unit. I know this sounds kinda strange to do and many are prolly asking why so here is my idea. I wasnt to take the factory radio out and put in a 9" Monitor and hook up a PS2 or somethiing to it, then remove the climate control and put an aftermarket headunit in that spot. So needless to say I dont really know where or how I would relocate the climate control. Any Ideas are more than welcome. Some may be asking why not just get an all in one unit and my response to that is:

1. Everyone does it.
2. Can get a stand alone monitor for cheap.

 

There was a Cobalt on cardomain that had something like that... the HU was where the HVAC is now located and there was a seperate monitor above it... the guy put the controls in his glove box...

I would search around for it...but I'm at work...

 

yeah... that ^

I remeber that, but did a quick search and could not find it. I am at work also and don't wanna keep seaching

 

Ha... found it...

Man, that is CLEAN! I love mods that look like they could've come from the factory that way. Now, if only I could afford such toys!

 

I saw another person before that had remolded part of the console arounf the cupholder area for for the climate control. I'll have to see if i can find his cardomain site. I think he was on her about painting the door trim or something. I'll post my findings

EDIT:
I found it. I think there was a better one done similar that had only the knobs showing

 

man that setup in orange is clean! I like how he did that

 

someone that has a cardomain message that guy to come on here and post up about it. we need a how too.

 

Why not you??

 

done...i asked for more pics and a how to...also gave him the direct link to this thread

 

like is says.. someone WITH a cardomain. I don't have one and can't register from here at work or I would have done it.

 

AWESOME

 

i like it in the consol like that. thats awesome.

 

yea i need to message that guy and get his cardomain site cuz he has a pic on there of fiberglass molded around it to make even cleaner looking than it is in that picture

 

hey guys here is a pic of the molded climate control but still not the picture i am looking for. it was a combination of this and the other pic i posted.

 

guy's i would love to post a how to,i ain't very good at explaining technical work like that.

i had an idea i went with it. panel surgery is one of my specialty,i do in my spare time when not at work,i just recently finished my trunk,was not easy to fit 2 optima battery 3 sub's 3 amps 3 stinger capacitor & soon i will re-install my x-box +10 inch screen into the lid

will post more @ http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2391344

 

I have pictures in my album of it. just not where the controler was. It was put in the glove box which is not looking factory. I have a black controller in my possession which is planned to go either where the cup holder goes or in the headliner (i dont have a sun roof) more research needed here.

 

Now that is similar to what I had in mind. wish I had your gift to produce that kind of work. It is super.
