Fitting a TomTom XXL into centre dash

**James2k** · 28th February 2012, 16:33

Hi all,

I posted this in the technical part but I think it is more of a modification..

I recently bought an 07 Veccy 1.8 Petrol Design.

Will be fitting a Double din HU with in 2 weeks.

And as title suggests a tomtom in the centre dash.

Bit tricky to solder in the leads that will go to the switch (awaiting in post). But it looks like a nice fit. (a Dremel comes in handy once in a while)

Are you not going to miss your trip computer?

Nope, I find it depressing watching my mileage go down. I've got a fuel gauge for that

Fair enough!

I was tempted to fit something similar but like my computer too much!

Quick question.Do you know the colour of that surround as I need to get a touch up pen or spray in that colour.

Oooh, what have you done with the CDC40 and DAB box?

I'm keeping it for when I sell the car. As I will keep H/U.

Update.

Filled and sanded.

Went to a local car paint specialist and bought a spray can that was extremely close to the original colour. (hope it looks alright) Got to filler primer it and wet sand it (although I doubt I will use any water).

Then hopefully painting on the weekend.
