In that little change tray thingy directly behind the shifter but in front of the armrest/storage thingy. It looks just about the perfect size to accomodate those 3 little buttons.

Yo 909, why don't you check out the member's ride gallery, and look for the big man himself, Derek-CEO. He had a setup sort of like what you're planning.

yeah...same here. but i use that little tray thing, so it might be tough. maybe in the little slot compartment just over the cup holders?? but that might be hard to reach if you have something in the cup holders.

Idealy, somewhere on the dash is the best place so that when you reach over to turn on the a/c or something, you won't be taking your eyes completely off the road..

Magazines have been giving praise at how convenient and easy to reach our climate controls are, so there shouldnt be any changes.

i think honda engineers and designers might have a LITTLE more experience then any of us here.....they know what they are doing. There are probably all kinds of insurance kickbacks and laws as to how and where they have to put stuff (generally)

PBfoot, the console you describe only exists on 2k1's and lower model 2k2 sedans. Everything else has a flip door over the cup holders and no slot.

As far as the relocation, you could put them were the sliding tray is next to the ebrake (if you have a 2k1 or 2k2)

Put the ***** in a triangle layout where the cig lighter is, with the buttons either where the cup holder is, or relocated into your door handle.

blackbullet's car looks like its a Celica wannabe. The buttons are really low and it looks like those are window buttons behind the shifter... Not bad if you drive a manual.

I however like them stock.

wtf? how would the window controls make that much of a difference if you drive a manual or auto? BMW has been putting their switches in the middle since the beginning...and how does it look like a celica wannabe?

Well, its just closer to the stick, which is where your hand is, when you drive a manual. I said I like it too. I was just reminded of a Celica when I first saw it.

But I drive an auto and have no problems with it were it is now.

Sounds great, but I don't have an armrest (manual).
Underneath the armrest area, is a slot loading dvd facing up ^
