Overhead Console

[Crlnd132]

Guys, i've got a 92 LE Camry and i was thinking that installing an overhead console with lights, storage compartments and maybe digital temperature will look very nice and will be very useful. Which one do you recommend? there are hundreds of consoles on ebay and i can't decide. Any ideas?

i was thinking about this too.

maybe something with 2 map lights, digital thermostat, small compartments, garage door opener.

Sounds like a brilliant idea. I've never seen one after market. Is it possible to install one into ANY car? I've got a GEN 3 too, and would be really keen to see a pic of one (installed or uninstalled)

I saw one in the picture thread but no idea from which car they took it. I found on ebay one from a chrysler m but don't know if it will fit.

yea i saw that too but i think it was in someone's sig.

Take some measurements first and then checkout the overhead consoles from other Toyotas.

One gen4's and later, there is a small compartment on the ceiling above the rear view mirror that has a door. You can store your sunglasses or if you change the door, you can store a garage door opener.

I wanted map lights, so what I did was to take this unit from a Toyota Tundra, enlarged the hole in the ceiling and mounted a unit like this, but different color.

.

There are a lot of other overhead consoles with much more features that would likely fit. The key thing with units that mount flush like this one is depth. I thought about using a unit from a gen5 Camry, but that unit was just slightly deep.

This one is from a Prius. Not sure if it would fit, but it'll give you some ideas....

a member did that a while ago. he used a ford explorer overhead console from a mid90s or so model, and it looked great.

the users name escapes me right now... i might be able to find a pic later.

how would you go about wiring the console as far as the thermostat and lights and whatever the one you choose has
