This one doesn't look bad at all, if you make up a nice holder for them, that blends in with your dash.

Cheers

I reckon either the dash or under that cover that is over the ash tray and lighter. If they'll fit? And if you don't use the tray and lighter of course :p


that my friend was a pretty good idea :P today i got the console section and removed the ash tray and lighter 2 gauges fit i need to trim a small piece of plastic away from where the lighter was and ill be able to fit another i will also cut a hole and mount the vaccum gauge between the clock and cluster, i will be relocating the cigarette lighter as its handy to charge gps/phone etc.

pics when photo bucket uploads them.

that would probably be easier to see from the drivers seat too.

i'm going to have a look at my EB sometime this week and try to stop it pinging, then we should go for a drive up the mountain :)

Ah nice, I've seen a couple of mates hate their Jensen units too. I remember wiring one up after work one day for a mate, the whole unit was so s**t it hardly seemed worth it. That one was a really low model though.

my mate bought the jensen from repco for $100 when i was selling my ef before deciding to keep it i sold him my sound system for $300 and his jensen cd player (sony cd player, alpine 6.5inch speakers, sony 6X9's and a clarion sub and amp)
