This thread was a great help to me in pulling the dash legs to swap the toggle switch panel out. It took me just a moment to find #1 so here is a detailed picture for anyone else that uses these great directions for reference. Click to enlarge.



This one may help as well:



Thanks again for the great cheeky directions. They helped a lot and saved time.

i have never heard such distortion at such low levels as from the MD unit, not one Mini2 user who has "normal" hearing will disptute a £ for £ swap of HU will drastically improve sound, even with those paper speakers! cleary tis the person who thinks that factory boost does not distort or sound anything less than satisfactory when playing music loud that has a hearing problem!

Now this is going offffff topic!

I think the aftermarket companies should take note. I would definitely be intrested in a plastic piece that would wrap around the column and hide all the down tubes hide but do not go to the floor. then in conjuction offer the lower plastic piece with out the slots for the down tubes and/or offer a range of accesory holders that would slide right into the spots left open

That's because planeguy resurrected this thread from a full year ago, and those pictures have been removed from where they were.
