Since the rest of my cars are all keyless, it's a pain to have to use a key. Off to making a custom keyless-go system


Also changing out the button on the steering wheel to light up in white:



Adding a subwoofer under the passenger seat:



Adding electronic rear window flaps:

Bought off local version of ebay seats with ventilation and heating off a range rover. Was looking for seats that have arm rests attached to them since Vito has no central console.

Got the Range Rover seats installed





Making stock buttons to work to something like this. So that the top button works for heating in 3 stages and bottom one for cooling, also in 3 stages. Later on I plan repainting them so that they actually have correct icons.







Here is what control board looks like


And more wiring and coding









Also took out stock monitors to plug something else in.

And here is how it works. Sorry, video is in russian, but you can see how 3 stages light up. Super bright mode is for stage 3.

Adding cruise control/speed limiter function. Had to get a cluster off a newer vito.


And of couse changing lights of the cluster to white/blue. The function of the cluster to go red in limp mode also saved.







Functioning cruise control/speed limiter

Wired up the heating element for the steering wheel



And now swapping manual climate control knobs to digital climate control. Plus changine out light to white.
