One question. How would the vents work if the radio is in their place? Not sure why you'd want to do this, it seems like a lot of fiddly work which would leave the vents unusable.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Well I got a 1din radio with screen and when screen is up it's blocking my vent controls (very annoying) so I thought maybe to put it somewhere else, can't think of another solution, any advice would be very welcome.

Enter a search on here for TuroDan's Z20LET Cavalier thread. He installed Mk3 Astra MFD in his centre vent housing.

Well I've made a Astra gte digital dash fit my original binical and taken out of the Astra gte dash loom and separated the check control loom and put that into my cav dash loom and will be putting the Astra gte check control light module in my middle vent area as the Astra gte binical doesn't have all the warning lights on it like the cav bincal.

Don't forget to relocate your hazard warning light button lol I'm moving mine to one of the blank buttons on heater control panel.

Wud it not fit in the gap below were some people fit calibra gauges? Might take a bit of diy job though. At least heaters would be safe
