Points of interest:

• Robust construction - Suitably durable for off road driving. Manufactured from steel and hardwood plywood - NO PLASTIC.
• The shape of the base of the console can be custom made to suit the customer’s radio(s) and other requirements.
• Radio holes and storage openings etc. cut to suit your requirements and accessories.
• We do not have a roof console to suit a Pajero fitted with a sunroof.
• Designed for maximum headroom without interfering with the sunvisors or any other functions of the vehicle.
• Fits the vehicle without drilling any holes. The front mounting bracket on the console utilises two of the mounting points for the genuine spectacle holder / interior light assembly. The back mounting bracket on the console is attached by removing two of the genuine Christmas tree studs. These studs are replaced by plastic plugs that accept two threaded screws.
• Upholstered in a vinyl or velour finish to match the vehicle's interior.
• A vacuum formed finish is also available for this roof console. This is a foam backed, heat shrunk, one wrap (no seams) finish similar to the finish on the dashboard. Click here for prices.
• The 2010 model has several options, some vehicles are similar to the earlier models and have a spectacle holder / map light assembly and a ceiling lamp fitted in the hood lining between the sunvisors. Other vehicles have a Bluetooth microphone housing and separate map lights fitted in the hood lining. Any of these genuine parts can be re-mounted back into our console.
• Removal of the genuine spectacle holder / light assembly reveals an opening in the hoodlining, our consoles have been designed to take advantage of this opening. The radio fitted into the front of the console can protrude past the top of the console, sitting in the space between the hoodlining and the turret. This design allows the console to be less intrusive and allows the radio to sit further forward making it easier to see and operate.
• Designed so the radio curly cords are out of view.
• We manufacture our consoles in weekly batches. If we receive an order by Monday 5:30pm Sydney time your console will be dispatched on the following Friday. The dispatch date can vary if there is a public holiday.
• Professional fitting service available.

Your centre roof console will be designed to suit your specific model vehicle. It will neatly follow the contours of your hoodlining and will be the ideal width to suit the distance between your sunvisors. The length of the console takes into account the mounting system for the console, the shape of the cabin and when applicable, headroom for the rear seat passengers. When calculating the depth of the console we allow for maximum headroom and a clear view for the rear vision mirror. As no two model vehicles are the same our "vehicle specific" consoles are the best available.

In addition to being "vehicle specific" we also "custom build" each console to suit your requirements - nobody else does that! We adjust the shape of the base of the console to suit your radio(s) storage or lighting requirements. When custom building your console we can build a slim line console for maximum headroom or a deeper console for maximum storage. We can make the console's radio housing(s) as small as your radio(s) will allow providing more headroom and moving your radio(s) closer to the windscreen for better access. Another advantage of this versatility of design, most modern radios have a LCD (liquid crystal display) screen. It is easier to read the LCD when you are looking square onto the screen. Whenever possible, we change the angle on the console's facia panel to suit the radio being fitted.

A piece of "one wrap" hook and loop tape is supplied with each roof console (one retainer for each radio) to prevent your microphone curly cord from dangling and blocking your view. Simply screw this retainer onto the console in a suitable position between the radio and the microphone clip, then wrap the tape around the curly cord. If you need the full length of the curly cord, the "one wrap" tape is easy to release and re-attach.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS (For vehicles with the spectacle holder / map light assembly and the ceiling lamp):

Introduction
This centre roof console is mounted without drilling any holes in the vehicle. To mount the front of the console, we utilise two of the original mounting points for the genuine spectacle holder / light assembly bracket. The back of the console is held in place by utilising two of the hoodlining Christmas tree stud holes. The genuine spectacle holder / light assembly is re-mounted into a pre-cut hole in the console. All wiring can be installed without drilling any holes or cutting the trim. Removal of the genuine roof assembly reveals an opening in the hoodlining, our consoles have been designed to take advantage of this opening. The radio fitted into the front of the console can protrude past the top of the console, sitting in the space between the hoodlining and the turret. This design allows the console to be less intrusive and allows the front radio to sit further forward making it easier to see and operate.

Extract from the owner's manual.

Step 1. Remove the spectacle holder / light assembly, the two Christmas tree studs in the centre of the hoodlining and if required, remove the ceiling lamp.

Step 2. Hold the console in position to check the fit. Make sure you have received the correct console, in good order, before cutting any holes in the console.

Step 3. If the console has a speaker grill fitted, remove this grill to allow access to the front mounting screws.
Step 4. Fit your radio(s) and accessories into the console – see the “instructions on installing a radio into a console” and the “radio fitting kit” supplied with the console.

Step 5. Install the wiring and aerial lead(s) before fitting the console. Be sure to leave enough spare wire to reach down the seat. This will make it easier to connect your wiring to the radio(s) before fitting the console. The excess wire can be coiled up inside the console. Make sure the wiring looms for the genuine spectacle holder / light assembly and the ceiling lamp are long enough to reach the mounting position in the console. If you are cutting and extending the genuine wiring loom, disconnect the battery and cut each wire individually.

Step 6. Place the console on the seat. Connect the wiring and check that the radio(s) and accessories are operational before fitting the console.

Step 7. There are two screw rivets provided in the console fitting kit. Remove the self tapping screws from the black plastic plugs. Fit the plastic plugs into the holes that were exposed after removing the Christmas tree studs.

Step 9. Coil up any excess wire while lifting the console into position.

Step 10. Hold the console in position, make sure the console is sitting flush against the hoodlining.

Step 11. Attach the front of the console using the two 75mm long screws and the two washers provided in the fitting kit. (Two snap caps have been provided to cover the screw heads if the console has the hole for the spectacle holder at the front).

Step 12. Attach the back of the console using the two self tapping screws. Cover the heads of these screws with the snap caps provided.

Step 13. Fit the spectacle holder / light assembly to the console using the self tapping screw and washer provided in the fitting kit.

Step 14. If the console had a speaker grill fitted, re-fit this grill to the front of the console
