#104285 Hey all,
I installed my jdm center console a few weeks ago and rerouted my radio into the console. Originally, I wanted to put the Ford Taurus din coin/cup holder in it, but what are other alternatives?

Thanks.

#104468 Well still..people need to stop referring to them as JDM center console because it's a USDM center console unless you have a Rhd car then it would be a jdm center console

#104479 weather or not his car is RHD wouldn't make his console JDM or not. It depends on which side the lighter is on, so without seeing his console you cant jump to the conclusion that he doesn't have a JDM console. And a RHD console doesn't mean its necessarily JDM either.

As for the Radio din area, I'd get a pop out touch screen, but that's cuz I've always wanted to build an in car computer :thumb:

Dang my baddd, I meant USDM optional center console. Anyways, blatantly steering waaay from the topic, hondajunkee give me some more details what you were talkin' about.

Hatchie, I'll peep your DIY if I follow that path. Link me so you can save me the trouble of search? :hehe:

How is that? We call them B series, because its a B something something. B16a, B17a, B18a, B18c, B18b. Thats why we call them B series engine.

This is yet again another example that JDM is misused. If the car is a LHD car, there is NO WAY it can have a JDM (read RHD) console. Granted, not all the RHD consoles are "JDM" but thats the main origin. Im sure they were options everywhere.

Going to the extreme you went was uncalled for. Your argument didnt even make sense. Would you like to try again?

yeah
Katie-this dude was just sayin he put the console in and wanted to know what he should fill the slot with
then katie attacked him about a rhd? this aint about politically correct names for a console its about letting him know suggestions on what to do with it

Greased monkey- no. imeant saying the console isnt jdm because it wasnt an original equipment part on a right hand drive car and not calling it jdm because of it - is like saying the b thing - and what the hells extreme about what i said

Skeet- i have five guages in the bottom and a kenwood in the radio slot it looks good if you havent got the radio yet. otherwise try n find the taurus shit
