My Prodigy is mounted like that in the first photo. It works fine, easy to reach and see. It is hard to adjust the set wheel, but, once set, it shouldn't need adjustment. The only problem hitting it with my right knee upon exiting the vehicle, even with the seat all the way back. This vehicle soooo needs the integrated Ford controller! Shame on Ford for dissing us.

 

Hi everyone,

Here is my rough cut version of the install Jay inspired. Jay, thanks again for sending along your instructions. I still have some finishing to do to the piece but it'll work to get the trailer up for inspection. That'll give me a couple weeks to get it shaped/finished properly. Its made out of a bottom layer of MDF (to fit the bottom of the hole), and two layers of left-over oak trim. I plan to rout a change holder in the top and round over the edges as well. I haven't figured out how to remove any of the trim/panels to run the cable through the center console yet. If anyone has any suggestions I'm open to ideas.

If you take a look, I did a write up on how to do the stereo a while ago, it would be the same. I even included some pics on taking it apart.

Thanks, that does help. Now I guess I need to find one of those fancy tools. This is going to be a slow project, everytime I think I've got some time set aside to work on it my kids have other ideas... :-)

jay/07expyel/efinn - Would one of you still have pictures and/or instructions on putting together the wood insert in the tray. I'm in the process of installing a P3 in my 2007 Expy EB and think I would prefer that method. bob dot chetty at gmail dot com if you can pm me any info you may have. Thanks.

 

Mine bascially looks like Effin's. I just pulled out the rubber insert and cut a platform to fit with legs in the bottom so it fits in the tray cut out.
