elrao Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Is it possible to replace the standard cubby hole with a sat nav enclosure - but without the sat nav? I understand the sat nav has a sliding door, as opposed to the hinged one on the regular cubby, which would suit better for driving around with the cubby open to see my Tom Tom. So what I wanted to do was get hold of a satnav cubby (with no nav unit) which I could cut up and fit my TomTom into and then replace the standard cubby with it. Any idea where I could get one of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 you can get the sliding door kit (2006) from courtesyparts.com if you want to end up with something like this some more info here http://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=191509 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrao Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Looks perfect, but is very expensive! Am not bothered by it being motorised, will quite happily open and close it myself! Any cheaper alternatives about, that will fit a 2004? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flakmunky Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 They aren't motorised in the sense of an electric motor, they have a large flat spring which, when you push the button on the front lifts the flap and retracts it back in to the dash... I'm after the cubby but want to keep my flap - Pingu2 put me in touch with perfnissan and I found this: http://www.mynismo.com/products/?id=4445 Which with the current $/£ exchnage rate means its quite cheap... $90 + shipping + import duty (maybe) fM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_fuel Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I understand the sat nav has a sliding door, as opposed to the hinged one on the regular cubby, Dunno about the others, but in the 2006 model the satnav does not have a door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flakmunky Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Found out that shipping is $55 so you are looking at about £75 + a possible £8 import duty fee... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Still not too bad! I might have to get something like this. I was thinking about upgrading my alpine Nav to touch screen and this would probably be ideal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu2 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Got round to fitting my 03 cubby to my 04 Z today - very easy - had to trim some plastic from the lcd I am using to get it centered in the cubby properly. FYI the 03 plastic is a slightly lighter colour than 04-06 - you can see this in the second screenshot with the lid closed (although I think the camera has over-emphasised the difference) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Looks a good job and certainly fits in well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
