Why does everyone relocate the climate control unit to the bottom cubby when replacing the stereo with a dual din unit?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Why does everyone relocate the climate control unit to the bottom cubby when replacing the stereo with a dual din unit? Will it not fit in the second from bottom cubby? I would rather relocate mine to the higher position. Thanks, Brad

POST 2Original post

Because there is not a pre-made trim piece for that slot. Some have used a modified cup holder or upper CC slot trim piece, but it requires some cutting.

POST 4Original post

Will the climate control unit fit in the same trim piece for the DSP sound control panel or will I need to get another trim panel for the climate controls? They look to be the same size, but I have not been able to measure them yet. I am doing the work for a friend that has the DSP already in the car, but we plan on getting rid of it since they are going to put in the cup holders.

POST 5Original post

good question. i have the same one now - anyone?
