the easiest solution to relocate you climate control for 2din display

kinglasserres · Nov 8, 2008, 08:54 AM

i desided to post this little how to because i search everywhere in this forum but never really got a good info on it so i made my own solution for the climate control relocation. using the radio relocation kit and the oem radio panel. i did this without fiberglass and sanding. basically you only have to cut cut cut. hope you guy like it.
Note: this install only took me about 3 hour including the radio installation.

there is a metal part inside the lower driver sidecubby thats need to be cut

im sorry but i didn't took a pic on it because i took all this picture after the install, but thanks to 'TSAIR' for providing the picture and letting me post it.

using the radio relocation kit make a cut at the lower center of the panel as shown in the pic. to fit the three switch on the climate control.

now go to homedepot and buy a plastic spacers and some 4' nuts and bolt drill the both side of the upper part on the climate control. the black plastic spacer is from my LCD TV wall mount kit. measure 3in on the plastic spacer on all four.

you need four of them to install the climate control at the lower cubby. some say the the cable of the climate control is short but trust me guy its long enougth and it will reach the lower section.

once the climate control is in place screw the lower cubby panel

to test if it fit snugly.
now the hard part "joke" actually if you have dremel this will be easy for you.

you have to cut the original radio panel to get the climate control face.

measure 3' 1/2 to 8 1/2 be very carefull on this make sure give a little allowance on the cutting then just gradually grind the sides to make it fit. this is my mistake my upper part of the face panel is short so learn from my mistake and make sure you clean the back part walls off the panel also

now once you made it fit perfectly all you have to do is screw the face cover on to the climate control using the two screw thats holding it before

now its up to you guys if you wanna close the gap on the edge with putty or bondo but for me i think is fine for now. hope you guy benefits on this and thanks.
