Just curious if that worked for you...

Anyone think of converting this into a storage unit for say an IPOD or cell phone.

I think I am going to try to put a hinge on and make the space useful.

I will update.

jenkins-crew

not a bad idea, just line the inside with felt or something, its all metal!

Can I still do this if i have a 6 disc changer.

Hey did anybody try the switch bank above the coin compartment?

Looks like there might be room for 2 switches that could match the factory others.

Any feed back?

jenkins do you the same problem with the start button? like it doesnt work unless you half turn the key or somthing like that? mice DIY btw. definite must i my 8. im thinking 1 full interior neon. 2 full underglow neon. and 3 to send a stream of rice out my exhaust.

Having wiring problems. Theres three units in the rocker, Ground Load and Power. For some reason I can't get any sign of power in the rocker, the light will not light up. confused on why this is going on. if you can explain which wire you have going to which unit it would be helpful, thanks. I know one goes to positive and one to negative on the battery but it won't work for me. Help please. anyone.

Yes, you have to have the key in the on position before it will start. I just put it there because it was fun to let the passenger start my car :

---------------------------------------------
Positive, negative, whatever you are powering.

You may have something switched around. Use an ohm meter to see if you are getting power or not.

I am also curious if anyone knows if the space is empty with the 6 disc changer?

jenkins-crew

Not sure, have you tried popping out the peice yet to see? Takes about 5 seconds...

Ground/Load/Power - the Power should come from one of the footwell fuses (always always always use fused power). The Load is what you are turning on - neons, radar, etc, and the Ground must make contact with a metal part of the body (there's lots of good grounds under the dash.) which is probably your problem.....

I think I'm gonna do this too. Three rocker switches that look as OEM as possible.
So far I know one will control interoir LED accent lighting, another for nitrous microswitch WOT activation, and another for remote nitrous bottle valve opening. If I need anymore I'll go into the coin box.

Looks fantastic, if you showed me the final product and told me it was custom fabbed I woulda believed you.

Great instructions, great results, all in all a very great DIY. Thankyou for sharing, Im sure Ill use this one day.

peterisurhero

did you have to connect the switches to some wires for them to light up??

nvm juss read it... you did connect it to some wire... but which wire??

the switches have leds built in, they are powered with the same ground/power as the application the switch is for.. when the circuit is closed, it not only powers the application, but powers the leds... poof they light up

jenkins-crew

Just mak sure you ground them after you run you wire to whatever you are using the switch for.

marvin_rock

crazy idea here, think you could put potientiometers instead of buttons, and use it to control say like bass levels on an amp in the trunk or something? Or would that not work?

jenkins-crew

Should be doable, as long as they are not to big and will fit.

whats the best inside light kit to run through your car is there a diy on how to do so and which one to use?

ArlockRX8

BEAUTIFUL DIY...
I'm going to hook one of my switches to the Interior ground lighting that Rotary Rasp is selling
