However, since I flushed mounted my coin holder I have chosen another route. I now have a tranny temp guage inserted in the hole that used to hold the coin holder. Very convenient and an extra aid, especially for those towing loads any distance. A serach of this site will turn up a explanitory thread on the mounting and insertion of the tranny temp guage.

Maybe................
I was thinking since this coinholder hole is really a dummy for the 4x4 switch and no one has figured out if it has any voltage....maybe if I disconnect these wires and twist them together, I could then have 4x4, you think?

On that iPod note...i bet if somebody was really handy, you could make the coin holder flush, then add a USB port/dock connection to it and simply plug in the iPod shuffle and play it thru the AUX adapter...now that would be pretty cool.

Here is the coin holder in question, it's the round black thing to the left of the radio. Mine is a 4x2 so I don't think there are any wires behind there.
Ok what am I doing wrong to post this picture?
