ChrisZetecS Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 if you dont already have bluetooth... this could be more difficult, do you have a 3.5mm jack input? Yep I have this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Dark Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Yep I have this. hmm, check under your glovebox - there are two little clips if you pull the centre part of the clip out then the whole thing, you can remove the plastic cover. If there is some wiring that is not plugged into something you may be able to do this easily, if not its probably a lot of work. The end of the cable i am talking about it about 2 or 3cm wide - its the plug that goes into the bluetooth module. like i said, if the cable is not there its probably lots of work.

bigjock Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 ah forgot about this, i ended up using 3m Velcro adhesive tape, one bit in middle and one bit on each side, works a treat. i removed the metal closure clip thing and snapped off the sticky out bit on the flap. it closes tight and evenly now.

AndrewL Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Just found this German dashboard mod. Dont really like it myself but thought that some on here might. Found here And the Kerry Katona award for in car design goes to... :P I can imagine it now, "I don't care how much money and time they spent designing it, I wan't a 32" plasma on the dash."

caloyski Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 i meant to post this a while back when i found it on my car whats it for seems to be a bit pointless to me if u no where it is u will no what i am on about. here's what i did with mine.. took out the metal clip that locks the cover, adjust it a little bit to loosen it then put it back where it belongs and then i closed the two hinges on of the cover with epoxy and cotton, let it dry. then i put something that i can pull if i want to open the cover. that's it. it opens easily and closes firmly.... heres the link for my carbon fiber console: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/index...?showtopic=9257 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the radman Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 i found this hole as well when i was sorting the wifes dash out,i presumed it would normally have been an ashtray if that was an option on these? by the time id got it open the metal lug on the clip snapped off so i had to buy a new one from ford, who only sell them in packs of 5 at £10+ when i refitted it i bent the lugs right back on the clip so it now opens quite easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irononreverse Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Has anyone thought about putting in one of those push click latches? The ones where you push it to open and close? That would be ideal for me as I can keep it looking like it does now but still be able to open it without adding a tab or something visible.

Jonny87 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I'm scaling down my plans for the secret hole and other such mods at the moment, not enough spare cash available :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be ideal for me as I can keep it looking like it does now but still be able to open it without adding a tab or something visible. I've been looking at that, but the problem is that you really need a matching 'pin' to stick onto the door that will properly clip into the latch. The latch body itself should fit perfectly if you get the right sized one, as I think Ford may have designed it for one. I've found a company who make both halves of the latches so I might try and blag some samples, or see what their minimum order qty is......failing that I think I might just be able to get a single one from work.

That would be ideal for me as I can keep it looking like it does now but still be able to open it without adding a tab or something visible. that was my first plan... i wanted to put that kind of latch in which most of the cd players have. (push to open, push to lock) tried to search the web but i just cant find anything... my last resort was to find/get a busted cd/cassette player and take the latch from there. as for now, i'll stick with the loosed metal clip and the pulling tab..

FMC Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 What's the clip like for the petrol cap? (same principle) Anyone know whether that will fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be a different cliping method I think, and its massive compared to the hole in the dash unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
