Default upper center "horseshoe" console

Is it possible to mount this one piece horseshoe console to my 2000 C2 which comes with a 3 piece horseshoe console?

I tried to install it this morning, but it seems like it requires a different mounting bracket.

thanks
mar

BUMP

Is there a way to make it work? I want to install a double din touch screen and this would be much nicer...

I thought that all you had to do was get an adapter to accomodate the smaller AC vent

I asked Loren (Renntech) the same question, and he told me it was not possible.
You can try to make a "Do it yourself" if you have a good skill, tiny hands or wathever you call it... but I think it wouldn't work

Why can'y you insall a double din with your current set up? I put a Alpine IVA-W200 in mine and the fitment was almost perfect.

I could but I think the 1-piece looks better and I also have the cupholder...

Would you mind PMing me pics of your install?

thanks!

The one piece does look better but the mounting posts and holes are different. So my answer is that it will not be a direct replacement. Take that as you will.

You may be able to do it a different way. The control section is the same shape from 99-01' and 02'+. Although probably significantly more expense that you are looking for, you can probably try to retrofit the entire center section (vents, cupholders and DIN frames) from an 02'+.

Correct, thats the way to do it. You have to get all those parts to make it work.
