Relocating head unit 172

[Joe Smart]

So I have a head unit that I've had for a couple of years in my old car, Honestly it looks awful but its good for what I need. I like the look of the head unit in the Clio so I'm thinking of relocating the wiring to the glove box and bolting my head unit in there. Apart from losing the steering wheel volume control is there any other issue with doing this?

Thanks
Joe.

You maybhave extend the wiring loom for the radio, I can't honestly remember how much slack there is in the original loom, depending on whereabouts in the glovebox you have the wiring coming in theey may be issues as the heater duct runs behind and the passenger airbag is on top of glovebox.

They're the two main things that spring to mind, oh and you'll only have time and temp on central display

Can just get iso extensions from autoleads if you need to route it a longer way, you could also make a stalk contol extension if you were keen enough, is it no just going to be pointless having a dead factory hu in the dash tho?
