I took my ashtray out today to reroute my hands free. I disconnected the cigarette lighter and got me thinking what I could mount there instead!

Has anyone done this with pictures?

Just got me thinking as there's power there already. Did think of a boost gauge but then thought twice as it would take eyes off the road!

Suggestions?

I thought about a liquid gauge but don't wanna take my eyes off the road and it would have to fit as if it was meant to be there.

I might stick to my idea on barns rr

Some sort of tray that gathers ash from a tobacco based product lit with some 12v power supply concealed in said tray?

Why u think?

I'm looking at doing an iPhone dock inside where the stock ashtray is... Just bought a JVC AVX33 headunit with ipod connect, so planning on running the lead behind the ashtray so my iphone can be slid in bottom end first and connect, then the ashtray pushed closed hiding the iphone :)

Seen someone put a boost gauge there
Looked pretty good

That was my first idea and I soon forgot about it as it was a stupid one IMO as you don't want to be looking down and taking your eyes off the road

I was thinking that on the way home tonight in the van as I had my iPhone and fm transmitter on and it was just lay on the seat which gave me the idea for the 'R'

I'd like to see this and maybe have one when it's mapped to switch between stock, 95 99 etc

I have fitted an ipod into the ashtray. It took a while to dremel out the existing plastic and rebuild to hold the ipod in place.

I would post a photo but don't have 15 posts yet :(
