Question crap Nav -> 3 gauge conversion

Hi Guy's,

just ordered a used 3 gauge center console (oil,clock,volt) to replace my non-usable crap Nav screen and the "Navigation to 3-Gauge Conversion Harness " so now I only miss the center wood panel in Elm.

- anyone got a tip/idea where I can find this piece? new or used? can't find any one Sweden - many thanks in advance

Br,
Salo




replace Ł@$@!" Nav with 3-gauge center console

I have just brought a whole veneer dash set to replace a cracked airbag cover, there are usually a few whole dash sets on ebay in the UK (I had been looking for a few months) but single dash veneers are less common, I have only seen them for the drivers side.

it might worth contacting these guys as they seem the main sellers I found;

Items in Auto Reserve TEL 01158372707 store on eBay !

Unfortunately the spare I now have is Walnut!

Hi Salo. Good luck on finding your parts. I have considered doing that project myself on my 2003 XKR. Do you know if this is a bear to do? Seems like anything involving wiring on these autos is not really straight forward.

My kit takes any guesswork out of the wiring. See the instructions here: http://www.thejagwrangler.com/upload...it_rev_1.1.pdf

The biggest issue is finding a decent match for the center wood bezel.

See my recent article on the upgrade in Jaguar Journal here: Jaguar Journal May/June 2017
