Just finished cover to hide my Avic in my Tacoma. Took about 2 hours. Used 1/8" backer board. Put some felt on sides to wedge it so it doesnt move.

Pure genius. Good job.

Now you just have to hope there are no thirsty criminals in the vicinity.

This is the thread of the month here. looks good

Thx. Tip if anyone makes one...put a bit of hot glue under cups so they dont roll around on floor when your not using.

how do you get it to stay put up there?

Looks to me like it's just wedged in there from the sides and held in by the pressure?

My D-3 is recessed in the bezel. The cupholder is about 1/16 inch smaller than the opening. With some felt on sides it's wedged in there enough to not move when I slam my doors.

hey maurexa. can you make one for me? how much would you charge? by the way that is a great idea.

I guess we're not allowed to make transactions outside of classified section, but you can send me a personal message.

i am trying to send you a PM as well.. i am new to using this forum for the most part and cant figure out how to send you a PM to save my life... i'm sure many of you are goanna laugh for that! can you send me a PM, maurexa?

im an idiot...i see the send PM button... sending PM now

Slick mod!

Real Men of Genius, "Mr. Toyota AVIC D3 Fake Cup Holder Mod" just awesome!

hah it's like the fake can of shaving cream you can hide your valuables in ausome mod

cool idea for something but i might not try it

Then dont

Nice job!

Only trouble with that is.....

It looks like you dont have a radio/stereo etc

Criminals aren't that dumb.

I'm going to make one for mine (haven't gotten around to it yet but I have the parts)

I'm going to use part of an installation kit I have here and a faceplate from an old pioneer unit that doesn't work anymore

It will basically look like theres a cheap pioneer raido/cd player in there and a cubby hole under it. I'm going to cut a couple pens in half and glue them on, so it'll look like theres pens in the lower cubby.

Ive set it all up in there to see what it'll look like, and basically you cant tell its not a $99 stereo.

I took a few minutes today and clipped a few tabs off the thing and laid it on top of the D3 and took a picture

It's not done but you get the idea

ROFL!!!

Epic Success!

I love it!

you can be sure your picture is now on all thieves forums...

mother in law photo, printed map, old shirt or cup holder : the car that has to be visited is clearly designed.

Good job anyway

Yeah the problem I see with this is just that it seems to be obvious that you are hiding a fancy stereo since there appears to be no radio in the car at all, which would be highly unlikely.
