Mounting headunit high on the center console
Are there mounting frames for the hazard/seat heaters/locks switches to relocate above ash trash tray?
Also a mount for a double din in the upper location, where the AC and switches are located.
This would be optimal location for a touch screen nav headunit, but if this junk is all custom work...well screw it, i'll have to mount it in the usual location.

You can fit a flat object like a monitor in the pictures, but if you are trying to fit a stereo in the it won't fit because your heater plumping is back there so if you are putting a single din then it will stick out about 1/2 inch, if you are trying to put a double din it will not work at all because on the top right under the vents there is a plastic cover with a piece of foam in it and behind that there is one of the metal support bars that the dash sits on and is connected to the body of the car so you can not remove it. I tried this about a year ago and it wasn't doable so i just took off the access pocket and cut the center piece and now i have a double din in.

sorry to burst everyones' bubble but i had that idea a while ago and tried many different ways and didn't work. the only way is to get a complete custom top piece instead of the wood which will stick out about 3 to 4 inches.
