Relocation Of Climate Control Unit

[tdcarbon]

hi

i have a series 2 r33 and have a problem.

i have recently put a dvd player into my car. it is just a single din slot head unit and i have a seperate 7" screen hooked up to it taking up 2 din slots. in order to fit it in i had to remove my climate control unit. so now i have to work out another place to mount my climate control unit.

im not sure if i should relocate my screen to another spot or extend the wires and have the climate control unit somewhere else. it has been bugging me when it rains and my windows fog up and i cant see anything.

any ideas would be great

thnx

centre console or glovebox, its easy enough to do and makes the dash look alot nicer cause its hidden IMO

well in my 33 it has the climate control on top and dvd player on the one below but below that is a pocket for an extra din....you shud leave the climate control in its place and set the dvd player on the bottom and the screen in the middle and climate control on top

the glovebox is the logical place but you would have to reach over everytime you need it. It is a big piece of equipment and sometimes quite handy for it to be hidden.

This is an up coming problem for me... easiest solution is to dump it in the center console or glovebox with some wire extention work.

I've seen an extra din created at the bottom which seemed to work (ignore ugly mfd install at top lol)

Otherwise, you could attempt to condense the control panel so it fits in the ash tray spot, but this wouldn't be for the faint hearted.

A car pc setup with a HVAC controller could do the trick also if you have time up you sleves.

Thanks for your ideas guys.

My head unit takes up 1 din slot and my screen takes up 2 din spots so there is no additional room for my control unit.

I put mine in my glove box, the loom was long enough and it wasn’t a huge ordeal. It really isn’t that much effort to lean over an press a button on the unit sitting in the glove box, I had it mounted as close to the right as I could, no worse then rooting around for change at the tolls.

No wise ass remarks about the head unit, it came in the car

hey nismo boy could you possibly post a pic of the control unit in the glove box, and how you mounted it in the glove box.

thnx

Nah sorry, don’t have any and I don’t own that car anymore. It was double sided taped to the lid more or less. So when it was open, the unit sat the right way and you were able to see the screen, much like where the fcon is sitting in the photo I found below, however mine was to the right so it was closer.
