Hey Vasiliy, all this stuff looks great! Keep up the good work bud.

I'd be in for two of the ashtray plates with storage/phone pockets if I dig how they look. One of them would need to be able to accept the heated seat switches though. Can that one be done?

Guys, I really appreciate you attention to my product. I could not even imagine that this panel caused so huge interest.
Unfortunately now I can't make this panel for heated seats. Maybe in future.
I will make model with pocket only after I complete current orders.
All who was interested in blank panels will get them.

Gents,

I made several blank panels from fiberglass and, unfortunately, gave up to continue doing this due to huge harmfulness of resin vapors and fiberglass dust for a health even with respiratory protection.

Instead of this I bought 3D printer and already made a blank panel 3D model and prototype.
That means options like pocket, heat switches, or both at the same time will be available soon.

I will keep you posted.
Sorry for inconvenience.

Looks great. How is the finish on the 3D printed one? Can/should it be sanded and painted? Can it be drilled cleanly so we can add holes for switches as needed?

Finish is pretty plain but layers are visible, sanding and painting are required. Sure it can be drilled, it was a reason to make this panel to add necessary switches later.

First of all I complete regular orders for blank/heat switched/pocketed panels, then will look into custom orders. Send me PM with a picture of a panel you'd like to have.

No idea how it should looks like. Send me PM with a picture.

Completed 3D model and prototype of a panel with heat switches. Forum member Sox-Fan sent me his old ashtray assy with switches to make measurements. I really appreciate such kind of help. So I will send him switched panel for free with shipping on my own expenses.





Next question is for all who is interested in pocketed panel. What kind of pocket would you like? Size? How deep? Modern smartphones are pretty big and will not fit well...

Any chance you could integrate a Valentine One Remote display? I had this done for my C5 radio bezel. It turned out really nice. I would love to have this again in my C6. Having the V1 remote and USB ports would be perfect. I would be happy to send you my V1 remote if you want to prototype it.

My IPhone 6 is 3" wide by 1/2" thick by 5 1/2" long, still leaves room for heat switches and usb port.

I would think that a pocket located to the center of the panel maybe 1/2 to 3/4 the height of the panel itself by 3 to 3-1/2 inches deep by whatever length fits safely between the seat heater buttons should be sufficient. Preferably at a slight downward angle as well so that things will stay in the pocket while driving.

Vasiliy,
Check your PM's

@RFEDesign, I'd be in for a panel with heat switches for my C6. Add'l mods I could always tinker with myself...and if I mess up, I can order another haha.

@ Konomi, The panel with v1 remote display is really cool looking, but far too low in the dash for me to want it there. The one you had appears to be much higher, and in an ideal location. Really clean looking!

I agree, it would be nice to have it placed higher. I have my remote display sitting on top of my steering column and it's in the way of DIC, so for me this would be a good alternative, plus the mute button would be more accessible.

@RFEDesign, any chance you could integrate the V1 display?

Guys, can't say now, all custom orders will be discussed later.

Thank you guys, 3" x 3/4" x 6" should fits a lot of smartphones.

Need one with heaters and a way to mount or prop a phone up in front of it for using navigation. Or maybe a magnetic mount?
