Anyone need a theft protection cover for their Z1?

I'm looking at getting one custom manufactured... if more people are interested, I'm sure the price will go down.

I would be interested, but cost is a significant driver. I've been looking on EBay to get a cheap stock radio that I would deface and check the rest. If what you are making is a simple "flat" panel to fit around the Z1 that would be great.

It would also help resolve the issue with the Z1's screen in direct sunlight, which can cause pre-mature failure. This wouldn't be covered under warranty (neglect).

I would be interested in the cover.

Maybe you could design a generic flat cover that could be customized with a photo image of different factory radios so it would match different applications. For example, mine is going into a Ford Explorer, so a high quality image of the standard Ford radio could be applied so it would appear to be a factory install.

Mine is going into a Mustang, so the "stock" radi will look basically the same... that's the general idea of what I'm trying to accomplish.

Basicaly, I'm working with a guy localy who is going to fabricate one for me, then hopefully it will be cost effective so everyone can get one.

i would be interested too.post a photo with the finished product.

BigFloppy have you had any luck with your local guy and the fabrication of a cover for the Z1?

I posted this on another thread, but it makes sense here too.

I was thinking about this last night as well, and came up with an idea, that I think works pretty well and I will post some pics tonight. I used the little plastic trim piece that came with my Z1, cut a piece of black t-shirt, and hot glued it to the trim piece, I than attached little plastic pieces that stick out and slide in between the Z1 and the metra install kit which holds it into place, I plan on putting a Ford symbol on the front of the t-shirt to make it look more "factory". It looks pretty good, now hopefully any would-be thiefs will move onto another more obvious radio.

Sometimes the simple things work the best. I like the idea. Might have to try that myself also. Thanks.
