has anyone done this?

i'm talking about the little black box under the upper dash panel .... i want to move it ....

 

It's integrated inside of your cluster which is a self contained unit. There's no seperate connector or anything for it. You'd have to remove it from the cluster, figure out which exact circuits on a printed circuit board power it up, supply data, ground, etc. , and then solder wires into it and make your own harness to re-locate it.

 

Inquiring minds want to know. . . . . whatcha gonna put in that space instead. . . .

 

there isn't another spot i can put it without disconnecting it?

working on a mount for a portable dvd player .....

 

The "black box"compass module installed under upper dash panel does have a harness connector(removed box while installed modded daystar upper dash panel)in theory you should be able to extend this harness to relocate unit(would probably want to keep in similar area).warning there is a compass recalibration procedure in owners manual you might want to reference, when I reinstalled my dash panel and compass module compass display was screwed up(doin some kinda bermuda triangle thing) untill recalibration procedure done

 

I think you are a little confused about how it is set up.

 

unplug, extend wires, plug back in in new location (top of sound bar) and recalibrate.

 

top of sound bar,great idea for relocation

 

Or not. The sound bar has speakers in it. Speakers require magnets to work. Magnets will throw the direction of a compass off.

 

there are no magnets in the middle - just a great big hunk of plastic
