Dash gauge pod

Was looking at getting the gruppe-s gauge pod, but was wondering is there is a way to relocate climate control to lower din and have radio below the 3 gauges on upper? DOnt know if that would look better or not.

For the dash pod I believe you relocate the radio to the lowest opening in the center dash with a kit you can buy straight from a Mitsubishi Dealer. Then the HVAC stays where they are. So from top to bottom it goes: Gauge pods, HVAC, Radio.

In order for that to work you would have to take your console gauge pod and cut out the section where the HVAC knobs would go. Then install the radio using some custom brackets you would have to fab up to make it sit where the HVAC is supposed to sit. Then take the HVAC controls, make a custom pod type thing to set it down in that opening and then re run the wiring to the correct places.

In my opinion: If you have time and money and want to see this happen - go for it!
If this was me I wouldn't attempt it only because I love the way the dash pods look, and when the radio gets relocated out of the way it looks better cause the HVAC still lights up.

Idk - it's all about personal preference so do it up and like the guy above me said - be our guinea pig!!

You might wanna check this out too - don't know how relevant it is to your "hopes and dreams" but you can check it out anyways?
