Center Console gear plate
Center Console gear plate
I put in the center console and replaced the radio with the giant screened all in one. It was nice because I don't need to worry about the plate below the A/C controls, but I do have a hole where the shifter is - Anyone have an idea on this? I have made my own foam cover temporarily but would like to do something functional with the hole. Thoughts?

Re: Center Console gear plate
I had Columbus Car Audio here in Columbus, OH fabricate me something to plug the hole. Right now it is just blank. In the future, I might add some accessories that have external buttons or switches, like aftermarket seat warmers or a radar detector, but right now I'm just leaving it blank. You could also put a wireless charger there and charge your phone.blank77 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 3:48 pmI put in the center console and replaced the radio with the giant screened all in one.

Painted all of it black. looks good for temp.blank77 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 3:48 pmI put in the center console and replaced the radio with the giant screened all in one.
