sorry for starting a new thread but i was just curious if anyone has done anything cool or unique to that cd holder thing in the center console on newer s10's or blazers.

 

I haven't done anything, but I was thinking about it. I was thinking to cover it in plexi and have a compartment for my phone or something, and put a usb port somewhere on it and somehow manage to wire that to the head unit or fuses.

Just some ideas

 

ya ive been thinking along the the same lines about doing so thing like that, i was just fishing for good ideas and possible how tos for it.

 

Yeah, some people have put switches on a plate that covers it. (Me included)

 

switches for what? the off road lights?

How did you wire all of that up if you don't mind me asking?

 

I ran the wires through the center console area. I'll see if I can get pics soon. It should be noted that I have a tape holder and not really a cd holder, so it'll look a little different.

 

I tossed a CB in the tape deck area of my truck, but I'm considering moving it to the CD holder area just for ease of use. I also considered putting a cover over the CD holder area and adding a couple switches or a headphone jack into the radio or something.

 

^^^^see now thats what i would love to do is put a cb in that spot and make it appeare like factory but id have no idea about how to go about doing it.

 

Well, for my mount I just glued in a piece of ABS plastic I had laying around and cut the hole for the CB. I imagine your application would be very similar, the difficult part would be making an actual mount for the CB itself. Actually, the more I think about it, the easier it really seems to do... I may do that soon, haha.

Around the trim hole for the CB, take some vacuum line, split it down the middle, and run it around the edge of the hole. That way you have a very nice clean looking cut line.

 

I am in the process of adding a DVD/Nav system. I plan to install the bass boost ****, the IPod connect, and a few other things on mine.
