Re: Glovebox Radio

maybe you should try to make a whole metal glovebox, thatll be better than the cardboard

Re: Glovebox Radio

Thats why GM made them out of cardboard, they have to bend go go in thru the front. Alot of aftermarket ones are plastic that have cuts in the top and bottom to fold as they go in. I made a one piece for a A/C truck and there was no way it was going in in one piece.

Re: Glovebox Radio

Kel sent me the new and improved AC glove box unit and it fits nicely. I don't have a picture yet but I will post one soon. Thanks again Kel!

I'd be interested in one of these /\

If you make it in 2 pieces like the others and assemble it after its through the dash hole it might work.

Looks like excellent workmanship in the others!

On a side note to the remote for the head unit.
In my 93 I have a Blaupunkt deck with what they call a "thummer" remote. It's an IR remote that attaches to the steering wheel and the sensor "eye" attaches to the dash with double sided tape. The "eye" has a cord, (maybe 2-3 feet), that plugs into the back of the deck.
It's an older deck but they might make newer versions that still use the "thummer".
I've just about forgot what the buttons on the deck itself do! LOL

Useless trivia;
The dash in my 72 is cut. I cut it myself. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat!
I cut the dash, jerked the ashtray out, (disgusting habit anyway), and then made an aluminum plate that cover the ashtray hole and the butt ugly indented in part of the dash where the factory radio mounts. Bolted the aluminum plate to the dash with button head allen bolts.
CDplayer? Bahahahahaha! 72 3/4 ton 4x4 Not a chance in hell it won't skip.

Re: Glovebox Radio

Here are some pics of the AC unit. I went to Walmart and purchased a ballistic nylon car trash bag for $3.99. I cut off the straps and used the supplied velcro to attach it to the box side of the unit.
Pics of box without bag attached, pic of bag, pic with bag attached. (Radio hole is actually straight...poor camera work makes it look crooked!)

Re: Glovebox Radio

Latest progress:

I installed an IR extender so that I can operate the remote control with the glovebox door closed. The unit is a PAC IR-X. I built a harness to prevent voltage spikes using the procedure and diagram from the FAQ...

http://www.chevelles.com/techref/ftecref26.html

I secured the pickup eye under the dash in an existing hole using a small plastic clamp. I then secured the transmitter in the glovebox using the same type of clamp. Works great. The IR-X does not work with all remotes so check with PAC to be sure.

Re: Glovebox Radio

Kel

I will take a a/c and a non a/c one if you have them. I had sent you a PM a long time ago so I figured I was on a list. Anyway if you have both great, if not I can wait till you can ship both to save on shipping. Whatever works for you. PM me how you want paid. Paypal or check.

Thanks
Mark

Re: Glovebox Radio

Would love to have one of the a/c ones, just short on cash at this time. Might be able to purchase one next month if you will have any left.
