Locobob's Interior Mod Thread
Well I was posting some stuff in the Audio and Electronics section but it seems hardly anyone visits that section... plus I have acquired a serious case of "while I'm there" so things have gone way beyond just putting in a new stereo head so here we are with a new comprehensive thread.
Anyhow my current mod plans include: Kenwood 470 stereo head unit Back up camera Switch panel in place of the forward cup holder LED interior bulbs Heated seats Sound absorption interior foam 94+ door panels New steering wheel Carbon fiberish refinishing of dash panels |
Re: Locobob's Interior Mod Thread
Here is the new steering wheel: Momo Commando... hub kit wasn't in the box so I guess it is shipping separately.

Here is the sound deadening stuff from Vettenuts, it is pre-cut closed cell foam like stuff with foil backing - complete kit including doors - weighs almost nothing which is important to me.

Here is the switch panel I am putting together, it will be on/off for V1 radar detector with remote, gps hardwire, and the third switch is for later... not sure what just yet.

Here is the Kenwood H/U with PAC OEM-1 Bose adapter - going to try this with the Bose speakers for now and see how it works, also going to go ahead and pre-wire for an amp in case it doesn't work out so hot.

I'm going to refinish all the dash plastic in carbon fiber look from American Hydrocarbon. I decided it would be a bit of a crime to alter the rare and in great condition power key bezel sooooo... I created a ZR-1 bezel to refinish using a base 91 bezel. This involved a few trips to the hardware store... mostly plastic and JB weld.

What a great thread. This will be fun. I too, will be doing a radio this Winter.
Thanks for posting |
Re: Locobob's Interior Mod Thread
Perhaps some of you electrically savvy types can help me with a few things. I have the heated seat kit on the way, comes with switch so should just be a two wire install. Anyhow I have this unused connector under each seat which is for the sport seat lumbar and side bolsters - which I don't have. I think it will be perfect for the seat heaters.... except that it is always hot.
http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_0313.jpg So I got to thinking... I could replace this connector with a relay - use the pink/black switched acc. wire to operate the relay and problem solved... seat heaters would be keyed power. The big orange coming in is on a 30amp breaker, the seat heaters use 3-5amps each. Then I got to thinking some more, perhaps I should also take power off this new relay for the switch panel I'm installing. I'm kinda concerned that the little 16 or 18 gauge pink/black wire is not going to like running both a radar detector, gps, third switch and operating the relay. http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/IMG_0330.jpg |

Eventually this will be a good reference on how-to to custom cobble a new power key bezel since they are a bit tough to source.
