Hey gang, I am working on another dashboard accessory mount for the 100 series, and am trying to figure out how universal this is across the model years. I know it works on 2003-2007, but I'm just curious about the older 100's, and when/if there were significant changes to the dash and the vents surrounding the radio.

so if you have a second can you help me confirm my assumption here? I believe there are 2 styles.. this one is 99-02

And this one is 03-07

the notable difference being on the older model the plastic bezel that surrounds the radio is one piece.. when you pop that off you remove the radio surround, the vents, switches, everything. but on the newer models, the side vents are separate from the stuff that surrounds the nav. Does that sound right to you?

And if anyone's local with a 2002 or older 100 series who would like to add a dashboard accessory mount, I will offer you free installation on one of these, which includes an intial fit check to see if what I have even fits yours, or if we need to develop a new one. but if what I have works you can watch me install it. You can also watch the install ahead of time in this video.

And if we need to develop a new one, I will also offer that to you for free, in exchange for coming by and allowing me to measure your dash, then come by again to test fit the first version, etc. That's if we need to develop another version for 98-2002, or something.


this is what we're installing:

My 99 is a match to your early pic for sure.
EDIT: Of course you're welcome to take mine apart for R&D.

When are you making one for the 60? I was sitting in it with the 80 shelf yesterday trying to figure how it could mount up.
well the 60 is another level of difficult... similar to the 91-94 80 series. I can do a dashboard mic holder for the 60, if you want one of those?

But I don't have a solution for a metal shelf over the dash..

Different from the 03-07 dash, correct? but not different from the other 98-02 models... I think I've figured out the cutoff.

Also I have a couple 98-99's lined up for development, starting next week. ;)

It looks like @DanInDenver’s 99 lx470 bezel without nav is slightly different from my 02 with nav. Where im seeing a difference is the middle of the bezel.
