Radio Delete "Blank" Dash Plate?

BGR · 09-07-2015, 12:48 PM

Does anything exist? Basically I'm looking to fill the gap below the vents where the radio would be with a black plastic piece. This is on the track car where I will be mounting an iPad mini with OBDII read outs and lap timing.

I have a feeling I may just need to go custom fiberglass but figured I would check.

Your cheapest route would be a dash kit with a single din blanking plate.

They used to be on ebay.

Link? I couldn't find anything.

Not seeing it now either...
Only thing is a single DIN adapter

Then you could put in a single DIN gauge pod...

I actually have a single din gauge pod already, but I was hoping to go digital so I could incorporate the lap timer and more readouts

I've seen OBD2 wifi hardware that syncs with apps for the readout. If you have an iPhone and don't mind mounting it somewhere on the windshield, it can use the camera to record laps with the OBD2 readouts.

That's the plan. It uses Bluetooth I believe not wife, but will sync with the iPad.

i have an oxygen single din i used in my Zed3.. has no front, until you stick your iPhone in there. used to use the lap timing function all the time..

unless there has been a signify development with the Torque app (assuming thats what your gonna use) the BT on that does not like the iPhone/ipad

Very cool!
This would have made building the single din gauge pod easier

Are you sure that isn't for the sloped area under the AC controls? It says "lower cover" which is suspicious to me... Hope it works.

Most certainly. The BMW South Atlanta has it labeled correctly. Amazing to me is the $48 price tag. The cover under the console is $8.65 for the same amount of plastic....

I guess they figure it's a niche product and those who want it would be willing to pay more. Typical.
