There was an aftermarket center console. I forgot who made it. It had a
compartment for a standard DIN sized radio at the top. But I'd forgotted
who made it. Its no longer available so its fetched high dollar value on
the forums when it does come up for sale.
Does anyone remember the name of the console manufacturer. It currently
slips my mind.
It does show up in the classifieds occassionally.

Subject: [a2-16v-list] Radio Relocation Questions
Anyone out there remember what it takes to relocate the radio from the
dashboard to the centre console on a GTi with manual windows?
I acquired Dale L's '89 GTi over the summer and I've been slowly
(painfully slowly) working on getting it street legal again for use as my
daily driver. At the same time, I'm looking to keep the car COMPLETELY
STOCK and run it in GS locally for a bit of fun. This is more of a
challenge for me than anything I've done automotively since I'm notorious
for adding modifications on a whim. So far I've found tonnes of cheap
sway bars, coil-over kits and engine bits that I want but can't use to
stay Stock legal - the upside here is that I haven't spent any upgrade
money either.
Back to the issue at hand - I want to move the radio to the centre console
so that I may mount 3 gauges in the radio opening. Obviously I need to
extend the radio wires but I remember someone used to produce a kit to
relocate the radio. Does anyone remember who manufactured the kit?
Better yet, has anyone used it or has anyone successfully relocated the
radio?
Besides wanting the gauges in my line of sight, mounting the radio lower
in the car will hopefully make it less of a target for thieves. It's not
that I have expensive radios ($150 Alpine) BUT with today's society, it's
not the value of what's stolen but the thrill of stealing that seems to be
the great motivator.
Thanks in advance!!
Matthew
