dr_broon Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 They are a bit of a nightmare are those cables... Not much to play with when you're moving stuff around. Shame that the double din conversion hasn't worked out, you did a good job on the centre console. At least it kept you out of trouble for a bit Hopefully someone will be interested in the console - wouldn't have a clue about a price, but maybe be easier to price as a package with the head unit if you're shifting that as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 yeah was thinking that too. Sad I won't get to fit it but just got to the point where it was gonna be too much hassle for me and can't face cutting up DD to fit it lol. Not sure how those heater cables stay in place when the controls are moved down the dash as like you say, not a lot of movement available in them at all.

dr_broon Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 It's a shame you can't get a head unit something like the sat nav version of the accord one where there's a big screen, but at the rear it's more like a single din https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184735204421 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Or this one if it were the other way arround... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274858423663 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Yes, had a look at some of those. There are a couple where the single din radio is at the bottom, so that would possibly fit. Just not sure I'dwant a big screen on show when she's left anywhere unattended though. Also not sure how it would look being permanent in from of the hazard/heated rear window buttons? It might be an option though as tghe android ones I've seen so far are all badge engineered ones from China....some get good reviews, some get apalling reviews but all look identical lol. Any big name ones with a motorized screen are mega bucks and don't have the android OS which is annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Many Sony double dins have the single din rear section. You'd expect quality to be good on those. I've been looking for my Hilux and seen them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Could you not use your new console with one of the ones with a single din back? Then it would be almost as you planned? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No a bad shout that actually! I'd still need to move the heater controls down again which means sorting out the cables so they aren't too stretched, plus it would mean my latest mod (see next post that future Dave is in the middle of typing lol) would need to be removed. So think I'm pretty much decided on the motorized screen single din unit now. That idea you had might be good for whoever buys the double din console though mate, gives them lots of options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Now that past Dave has stopped waffling in the above post (past Dave: Oi! I heard that! ), here's what I've been doing! Finally did the mod I've been wanting to do for ages (since I had Ruby infact)....fit the one thing our Civic M's really lack...cupholders! Bought a oem jdm Integra DC2 cup holder years ago to fit to Ruby but never got round to it. So it's now fitted to DD. Had to do a bit of modding to get it to fit, but it's in and looks factory fitted! So much better than the only other ones that were available that went in the centre console armrest, and these ones you can actually use! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Top job there mate! Looks like it's supposed to be there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
