My biggest problem with the TS Chip before purchase was that I didnt like how I had seen it mounted. It just seemed to stick out like a sore thumb in the dash. People called me crazy, but I wanted a sleek factory look. :notallthere:

I used my thinker today, and found it a home.

Delete plug from cigarette lighter from rear of 08 console... (I have a 12v for it that I bought a few weeks ago. Now I can install it)



Plug test fit in front seat cigarette lighter. Perfect.



Final product...





It looks great, fits great, feels great! It is within comfortable arm reach, and best of all, outside the view of pesky SMOG techs :giggle:

I had to trim about 1/4 inch of the black sleeve off of the dial so enough threads would fit past the surface of the delete plug. The OD of the plug and the OD of the sleeve were exactly the same. No biggie.

Oh, and just be careful about the little selector locking ring. Apparently the switch is like a 13 position dial or something, but this ring locks it at 6 (or where ever you set it.) I didnt want to find out if I tried to start in position 10 :yikes2: so I put the ring back :whistle1:

 

LOL... Looks good! A little far away for my taste, but your a bit strange...

 

You're*

haha I thought it would be far away too. But its comfortable to reach, and I dont switch around often.

 

Nice spot. Clean install. Does seem far away IMO too, or maybe not far away just awkward to get to, since I always have a cup in the cup holder.

 

Suppose the cup could be an issue, but I can reach it with out leaning, and I usually only change before driving because I know I'll be towing or something I dont usually start towing while going down the freeway

 

Yo Trey, i'm dig'n the location. Really, how many times do you need to switch settings?

 

Trey... you're a man after my own heart. I really prefer "stealth" over *BLING* every time, and you have done a beautiful job of making the switch look "native". What I've been considering is placing the switch inside my '08 center console (whenever I finally get to the point of getting one, that is). Your install definitely helps me firm up my thinking. The rep police have me all bound up right now, but I'll catch you soon.

 

^^^ ya really. Trey all you need now, is a cigarrette sticker to slap on the dial, and the smogger guys would never know. Heck, a quik glance and you wouldnt know.

 

Looks great, Trey! I am also a fan of the "factory" look.

 

Thanks guy!... Maybe I should get a cig lighter sticker hahaha

 

i like!! great job

 

looks great!
reps

 

got put in jail.

 

Nice work Trey. I think i may have to copy this idea.

 

Dang that looks good.
