Replaced Center Console Insert
I didn't like the small cramped console (with the phone insert) so I replaced it with part # 51169277267. There is a lot more space in there now.

Good job on the install. Things disappear under the iPhone adapter, and it is a pita to find them from the driver's seat. I must look into what you did. Thanks for posting the info.
UPDATE: I looked up the part number that was supplied, it is avail for $72 from ECS. Last edited by John H.; 03-11-2019 at 11:28 AM.. Reason: Added info. |

Nice upgrade but I find it would give me a reason to put more crap in there lol

I just pulled out the switch. There is a rectangle cutout. My approach would be to cut liner with a razor, and Dremel cut the plastic below. Last edited by John H.; 03-09-2019 at 12:24 PM.. Reason: Added info. |

I did the same, the wire is fed underneath the rubber mat and the switch is in my console if I need to connect it to use it. Eventually I will use a dremel and mount it in the original spot.

So, all that needs to be done is to mark 2 straight lines. We have our template! UPDATE - 3/11/19: Spoke with my dealership contact. The part is on backorder, 5-10 days. ... Last edited by John H.; 03-12-2019 at 12:12 AM.. Reason: Added media. |

UPDATE:
Yesterday, received the tray. Today, installed. Part was $62, plus tax. Out of the box. Used Dremel to make a cutout for valet switch. Spent approx. 1 hour. Use a small file to square off the corners. Take your time! Done! Last edited by John H.; 03-23-2019 at 06:58 PM.. Reason: Added media. |
