Double Din + GT3 Center Console Delete

I've been lusting over the idea of a double din set up with a gt3 center console delete. The only challenge would be figuring out where to relocate the HVAC controls and where to put my cell phone (this topic probably deserves its own thread). Just wondering if anyone else has had the same idea, and wanted to share how they would deal with the HVAC controls.

The GT3 console delete is relatively stout and i'm sure could retain its strength even if you cut out a slot to re position the HVAC controls into it. The trick would be to get the controls to mount to the console delete solidly to prevent any rattles or flimsiness.

I've been in two minds about this mod, love the spartan look of the GT3 console delete but like sweet victory - that's where my phone goes so I don't really want to remove it! Been driving around without it lately as I have a new hand brake coming so I began the disassembly.

I�m looking to do this to mine and from what I�ve seen there isn�t enough space behind the GT3 console to fit the ac control unit so the console will need extending forward slightly. If you search for the Function First console riser kit you�ll see how they mounted the control unit or storage hole.

A person on FB just printed a prototype version which looks promising. It could be covered with your choice of carpet.

I would love a copy of that file.

Yeah, same. I went all in on dbl din with the PCCM+ before I considered the console delete. I wouldn't go back to single din, but I want both. Entitlement at it's finest...

https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/SKU9X6TRIM.html I believe this is what you need to relocate the climate controls to the upper din.

A copy of that file will cost you $300 per print 😆 bc that�s what he�s selling them at or roughly at that price.

Lol. I'd love to see what he'd sell me the file for so I can print my own and mess with materials.

Hi we are the ones i think mentioned about being on FB a mate and i at the beginning of 2023 started the 3D print project for a GT3 console DELETE. This was because of wanting too retain the DBL DIN install and have the delete so we spent a few months and got the console 3D printed, too our satisfaction . Thats the easy part Instagram The prinary design engineering project been the custom MICRO HVAC unit. Designed too control all heating /cooling functions . proof of concept has been achieved and we now start the design process too resolve the packaging of the unit . This is intended to fit into the remaining space in the horseshoe and work for all mk1&2 986 and 996 models on a side note - needed a 996 cup splitter, so decided to print one Instagram thoughts /interest let me know cheers

Cant wait to see the mini hvac control!

Can you make a 996.1 GT3 splitter? Prices have become pretty nuts. Spoiler Lip 996.1 GT3 MK1 1999-01 - Also Fits Aero Kit Bumpers (fvd.net)

Its on the to do list in oz gt3 1 & 2 splitters NLA - so can pay around 1500 plus if you can find one new

@Kaelstart I have a 996.1 front lip I can have 3D scanned and send you the file.

Thankyou . Interested . DM SENT

Same here is our �home depot� board -

interesting had been told NLA - still we will continue and make affordable

Still an active part number in PET so still available. I have a new genuine MK1 if anyone needs one. Although the genuine MK2 is a softer rubber/plastic so probably not ideal to be 3D printed. However the MK1 would be as it's more solid.

im guessing you are in the business of selling parts new and wrecking. the very cost mAkes a quality repro interesting for mk1 & 2�s however thx for your input we will carry on with 3d printing discussion cheers
