Default Double Din with Cigarette Delete?

Hello everyone,

During the quarantine, I am going to swap my stock radio for a double din I have sitting around. I know someone used to make a bezel with a gauge pod option, but I think it is someone who is no longer around. Does anyone make one without the cigarette door?

Also, who still does the LED replacements? My AC controller is fully functional, but almost all the lights are out.

Thanks

SDS, perhaps the Metra bezel is what you're looking for ? No door but just an open storage "pocket".

DD Mods used to modify bezels with the door removed and filled with a blank, they are no longer around. Try Fleebay you may find one there.

The dim A/C control screen issue is you need new capacitors/resistors soldered on:

It's a thing.

Yeah, that is what I am trying to delete. I guess I thought the door just reinstalled over that.

Yeah, I could not remember his name, but I knew he was gone.

I can promise that no one wants my instructions on soldering. I teach Python, and when my students get to picking their own projects I tell them "we can do anything as long as it does not involve soldering."
