Hey guys, new to the forums, but wanted to see if anyone had suggestions for covering/removing the flip up Navigation screen? It's cracked and ugly, and doesn't work since I have a complete aftermarket audio setup. Anyone know of people that have done this? Or if you don't, anyone know of what the proper search term is?
Thanks in advance!
One solution I looked into was taking the dashboard storage shelf/tray from the X3 and attempting to put in place of the current nav unit. Hoping to see if I can source one after getting the dimensions from the X3 unit.
anything ever come of this X3 dashboard storage tray idea?
My initial thought is to simply bondo and sand the cracked cover. (Or replace in kind from junk yard, ebay, etc.) One it is no longer cracked, you could apply any number of finishes to it. Paint, vinyl wrap, felt, shag carpet. You name it.
Wrap would probably be the most efficient with the best result. Unless you really like shag carpet.
The texture of the dash doesn't come into play. The end result would just be the stock nav unit panel in a new finish (wrap or paint).
He said is nav unit is cracked and ugly. Yes replacing the dash or buying a manufactured unit would look much better than repairing the cracked nav unit cover. But that will cost hundreds of dollars. For a small fraction of that price you can repair the cracked and ugly unit and have it not cracked and not as ugly.
Itsgermanphil,
would like to know more about your aftermarket set up. Type, price, etc...
