    Where to relocate carling switches

    Hi guys. Im looking at replacing my single DIN flip out screen dvd headunit for a double DIN headunit sometime in the not too distant future. My issue is the 6 switches under the current headunit.
    Im after ideas on where to relocate the switches.
    I've already got switches in the centre console slots so that's a no go.

    GU I take it? You have the two on the lhs of the dash facia, behind the wiper stalk. Some also put them long ways on the centre console, next to the gear lever, and some even use the sunglasses holder in the roof trim.

    Yep GU. I was thinking about beside the gear stick. I've got a roof console so there's no sunglasses holder anymore. I've done a Google image search and there's a few nice ideas.

    Along the RHS of the console. If you have a S1,2,3. You can fit them on the centre facia.
    Plenty of room as its empty behind , you'll see that when you remove it to fit the head set

    I've installed the new unit and put the switches in the 2 holes on the left of the steering wheel and other 2 in the blank holes to the left of the headunit for now until I work out an area to bank them up again. There's heaps of room behind my slim uhf in the roof console.

    I haven't had a problem yet with drinks in the cupholders flicking the switches. Seems to be enough room between the holder and the switches.
