Hey Nicko, that looks great! The gauges are also a great idea!!
I am now re-thinking this, as the cost to buy a 2nd hand steering wheel, "just for sound" isn't worth it for me.. however I wasnt clear what you mean by a "remote steering wheel controller".. do you have any further details? (do i run the wires from the stereo to an addon that clips onto the wheel?)
I ended up replacing the as-is console, however I think I will end up selling it and getting a console like yours, I have seen a few for sale, so that I can also install the 2-din.
Some other nice to haves I would like..
1. Cruise control - i have seen 2 after market kits but there soo expensive
2. Want to change my headlights as the plastic is oxidised (i had read you could potentially heat gum them (or place in oven) and polish up, however I am a hack mechanically - software im good with..)
Thats it really.. someone just touched the bumber, 2nd scuff mark, other than that its nice.. although i would like shinier lol.
(I am scouring/googling for references of "convert to english" for popup lcd, some russia references - but cant find how its done - i do recall a video of someone showing it done.. and that was it!)
Thanks for your guidance..
