Put mine in yesterday. Too soon to give feedback. Seems like a neat idea though and most everybody likes it

 

How does the stock piece come off? Just pull or are there some screws?

 

To pull the stock cover, just wedge a flat wide blade screwdriver under the sides towards the front (the "windshield side") and rotate the cover up, popping the two metal clips out under the cover that hold the cover in place there. Then rotate the front up and towards you a little. The cover then slides off towards you. Placing a rag under the screwdriver will prevent denting the plastic that surrounds the cover. Easy. Notice the compass module is attached to the underside of the cover. That has an electrical connector that you can snap off, to get better access at removing the screws that hold the module to the cover. The Daystar cover has provisions for re-mounting the module to the underside of the cover, just like the stock cover.

 

Try this out. I used black rubber grommets, a black bungee and wire ties to hold it in place. Easy mod and love it! Bungee is great for ipod, phone etc

The Daystar Upper Dash Pannel was my first mod. I happen to like the look of it installed as the break in flat expanse of dash appeals to me as does the slightly darker color. Laying a Droid that is on in either holder will mess with the direction reported by the compass module. Thought I would use it more than I do. I find myself just setting stuff in the cup holders instead. My son and I share this Jeep and he balked at the bungee mod, me I'd do it. Would I buy it again yeah, is it the best money we've spent on the jeep? Nah.

 

you should have a compass my 2010 was basic basic and it had one
i solved my dash problem by removing my license plates and installing them on a mango tango jku

So that is why the compas seems like it is off and then next time I focus on it , all seems fine. I normally keep my blackberry up there in the Daystar. Can't store it in my shirt pocket cause it screws up my pacemaker, now it screws up my compass. Maybe time to get rid of the blackberry. hahahaha
Enjoy.

 

My phone is in my pocket and my sunglasses are either on my head or on the console next to the cupholders. I just couldn't justify paying anything for it. I'm not saying it's bad, I just don't want things laying on top of my dash unless they're serving some purpose.

 

Love mine as well... Even if you use it rarely it is worth the $25 ...

 

I did the bungee cord mod on mine. I eventually took it off. The gaps on the sides and front really bugged me. They could have done a better job with fitment. I will gladly donate mine to a new home.
