Hello all

First post here. First post about new car.

I have already mapped out everything and parts wise to install my new stereo/amp/sub/6x9 set. Even down to connecting the steering wheel controls to the new system. But for the life of me i cant figure out what to do with the part highlighted in the picture (Attatched). I don't know if it can still be used in conjunction with a new stereo, or completely removed or what. I dont see it working with the controls of a aftermarket stereo. It really is a silly design, breaking the stereo into 2 parts. But hey, they made it. Is there anywhere or any suggestions of what can be done with it. Even like a spacer or extra glovebox.

Many thanks for any replies.

Can't you just keep it there and use it for the non-stereo functions that are currently shown?

I guess i could do that. It will get very confusing trying to turn the volume up with that knob.

Can you measure how wide that opening is? I'd try to fit a Scangauge in there.
