| Nav Location Cubby Part # - iPad Mini Intstall |
|
Hi, wondered if anyone can share the part number for the 'blank' cubby that replaces the D3 nav display on the lowest spec model?
Doing a full headunit makeover which includes new double DIN in place of the radio/CD player and then my favourite device, a 4G data iPad Mini, mounted to a RAM mount that I'm hoping to fit to the cubby blank in place of the nav.
Will then drill and grommet a 12v-to-Apple Lightning through the back of the cubby for power to the iPad, and bluetooth CarPlay to the standalone headunit below.
iPad Mini is an amazing bit of in-car kit. Being able to pluck it off the dash and walk around with it seamlessly has been invaluable on my other cars - got my workshop manuals on there, GAP tool, soundsystem control from the back of the car, Gaia GPS/Google Maps, fallback dashcam... really an endless list of utility and being able to just take one unit car-to-car and have an identical interface and suite of tools work seamlessly is fantastic.

I don’t think it’s a separate part.
The cubby is part of the dash. Which can be cut out to fit a display

That’s a shame. I was looking at this image for reference and thought the cubby area might be an independent bolt in piece - haven’t yanked my screen out yet so I guess I’ll do that next and figure it out from there.
Might be able to cut out the piece from a spare dash perhaps, want to keep as close to a factory finish as possible.
