Thread: Custon Mustang Control Panels and Inserts

Very nice. I'm really impressed. You mention PCB below... can you take any pictures?

As for the buttons and so forth, I really havn't made up my mind WHAT I want to put, but I will hit you up when the time comes! At the moment, I am wanting my Amplifier, and any other normal switch to be controled by a Basic Stamp, and so I won't need to do any switches, but your solution looks soo damned good, I might go with that for the amp. I really like it.

I am interested in the USB coin holder unit... can you take pictures from below?

Hey that second one is MINE!!! Can't wait to see it in person (come on UPS & Sept 11th !!!). Looks fk'n awesome bro. Thanks for the great work. I'll post pics once I get it installed. Many kudos!!

Hey, don't have a Mustang but just wanted to say those look AWESOME!

here's a bump for ya!

Dude, make me a coin holder USB port!!!! My dirty coin holder is driving me crazy and I wanted to replace it with a switch of some type, but the USB will be much sweeter. I do have a convertible switch in the same spot you have your USB now. Will your USB port fit in the other coin holder too?

BTW your install is sweet. You’re only the second person I know who has successfully relocated the AC controls.

Thanks! Whenever you're ready, I can do it.

I can, but you would have to give me an exact layout and shape of the panel you need. I can't guarantee it'll fit thou; I dont have your kind of car to measure it myself.

I can do one. I would need you to send me yours; I dont have any spares.

Yes both holders are identical. The one found in the 01's is also identical in size.

Thanks, I almost quit the project because of it.

Hot off the press! well not literally. An AV input panel for the coin holder. Since some Xenarc screens have 2 aux video inputs, I decided to make one of them readily accessable for my iRiver PMP-140. The audio jack connects to the line-in on the computer, or you can plug it in how you see fit.

Video: 1x RCA jack w/ 6ft cable and male jack on other end.
Audio: 1x stereo 1/8" plug w/ 6ft cable and male stereo jack on other end.

Note to knight: here is a back shot of this one. I used the same technique on this as I did on the USB one. I used both epoxy to hold in place and bondo for reinforcement; dont want them sinking in when you plug something in.

You bastard....

Here is the ONLY case in which I wish I didn't have a convertable.... Now I want both the USB and the Aux input!

I've always wanted to remvove the convertable switch and put it somewhere else, and make it more.... kosher. You have to have the parking brake engaged to use the top, and I wanted to disable that. Maybe this is my excuse to do that?

I have some extra coin holders I could hook you up with.

I'm likly to get the USB and aux in really soon... as for the other part, when I bought my 'stang it's ashtray was damaged, and the dealer "fixed" it by screwing it on with cheap black screws... looks really ****ty. I'll have to replace the entire console, and I live in a small city, there are no junkyards around with any year or style 'stangs in them. eBay hasn't been much success either. I bought one off eBay and it didn't include the cover....
