Console Delete Hack

[CharlesGordon]

I've decided I want to try the "console delete" hack in my car, and I wonder if anyone knows if I need to order any extra parts before I begin (most likely this would only mean some wiring harnesses of an extra-long length). Oh, and do I need those special Becker radio removal tools?

Right now, from top to bottom, my dash looks like this:

Cupholders
Radio
--console gap--
Storage bin (in some cars like Don V's this is a CD holder instead)
Climate Control unit

I'd like to make it like this:

Climate Control unit
Radio
---nothing!---
(L E G R O O M ! ! !)


(Actually, I don't care if the climate control/radio are switched)

Anyone with direct help or links to articles would be great. I'll be taking pictures of this procedure to add to the knowledge base.

Thanks!
