Hi I have a Bel RX65 with a hardwire smartcord. I want to flush mount the mute button and warning light module into this panel. I think it will be real funtional and also look tight almighty. I have a couple of questions for the gurus out there though.
1)Will it pry/pop right out?
2)If I screw it up will I be able to purchase a replacement piece from the dealership?

It is an '06 Base by the way.



I guess this is where the traction control functions go on the other models? Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Hey man not positive but I believe that is the spot for the heated seats for the higher models...

 

dont pry that out,under there is the passenger ejection seat button.

 

yea, its the heated seats

 

Thanks guys. So will it just pop out then?

 

Yeah, just pull up the shifter trim ring and push it up from underneath.

 

What will you use it for anywho?

 

I am going to cut out the center and flush mount the mute button for the Bel RX 65 radar detector

 

That might get in the way, and you might mute it unintentionally.

 

oh damn thats funny

 

Yes, that's where the heated seat controls go. Use the stero install instructions (many threads here) to remove the panel (pops around the shifter).

 

I know it's off topic, but heated seats in a sport car just doesn't make sence to me?

 

seat ejection buttons.

 

With our fresh mornings in canada, especially at this time of the year before the winter, its all good to have heated seats, And im really happy to have this option in my Z.!!

 

Someone didn't get the touring trims

 

Heated seats are HOT!

 

its the heated seats but WEIT!!!!

under there is another pieve of plastic that holds the buttons! if you want to drill trough it for your botton, I highly recomend you lift the center console and look at it underneath. I say this b/c under that panel is another hard panel that has webs in certain places, and will make you mounting your button imposible. Trust me b/c i just installed 3 buttons there yesterday

 

I'm surprised that's coming from someone who lives "too far up north"

 

Well the panel popped out after lifting up on the shifter ring and pushing it up from underneath. There is a plastic bracket under there that looks like it is meant to hold three rocker switches in a vertical fashion. I will have to cut that backet a little if I decide to move forward with the smartcord mute install. The good news is that a replacement panel can be purchased at the Nissan dealership for 10 dollars if I screw this one up or don't like the install. I will post some pics if I do go forward with it.

Thanks to everybody for there help.

 

even a porsche has heated seats.
