T6.1 overhead cubby-hole ideas

[Amrami]

There's wires, not just lights, but security alarms and other important stuff, so if they get pulled they may cause dashboard error etc?

In short, no it's not a neat cavity

I'll have another look at mine with a view to designing a pocket or cubby hole, I have a 3D printer so I could make such a thing if it's possible, and a few folk wanted them.

So, do you have any ideas now?

I've had mine in bits, there's very little space behind to fit a drawer or anything else really, IMO not worth it.

However it was a useful space for me to fit this, it reads out the solar/B2B data, and tells me if the van is level;

Looks great! Where did you get power from? This is the inside of mine

Overkill 5V supply for dashcam etc...

MIL-DTL-38999 Series III (If you were wondering )

Where did you get the power from please

I made the mistake of taking this out,can only be put back properly with maybe a suction stopper,dare not remove the full thing as a lot of wires and safety stuff in there and they never go back properly even if you use a tool removal kit,im going to cut some hard flooring carpet in there and cut to size so i can put my shades in there but wish i would have left it alone!

Hi T6Jay,
Sorry this is a lifetime after your post, but I'm fitting a dashcam and looking for power - did you source 12vdc from inside the upper console, or thread a power cable down the A pillar to the fusebox?

Eberspacher controls? Plus 2 USB’s.

Looks good,
what is the best route to power please,
and what trim needs removing,
is there a guide of what order to that in.

Do you know if there would be room to put 2 x qi chargers under the tray ideally??

I keep my knives and forks in it and made a magnetic carpeted cover that just clips on. They aren’t loose knives and forks btw lol, the travel packs in a pouch x2 of them.

Hi Lochshot

I was wondering about powering my dashcam too, seems an aobvious place to wire from.
Did you every find a suitable power supply in this cubby hole or thread a new cable from the fusebox?

I didn't find one, so I ran wires up the A pillar

Mine was pushed in a bit when it got nudged pulling the pop top down - I then pushed it further to see if I could line it back up and it came out completely. I'm now looking for something that clips in from the front or something else to fit in there.

Hi everyone
Does anyone of you have a 3d file for that hole that could be edited? I like to add a tilt gauge in there for easy leveling.
