MP3 jack
Ok..i have a lariat with the center console shifter...so up above theres the black panel where the lighter and rear back up sensor switch is mounted....well i want to put in a mp3 jack there cause the one up on top annoys me that a cord is always hanging down the dash...anyone know where i can get a jack that will snap into a hole i drill in that???

"3.5mm stereo (f-f) panel mt. 3/8" hole"
This should accomplish exactly what you are looking to do. You will simply need to undo the factory jack, and tuck it back into the dash, then run a M-M stereo cord from it, to one end of this panel mount.

The nut and thread about be on the inside of your dash (or glovebox, or wherever you are mounting it). This is a panel mount (may or may not be a D hole), so all you would see on the face is the round step shown in the front of the product. You could drill damn near anywhere (Ive seen it done inside the dashboard compartment), for a stealth install that you never see.
