With a little notch in the metal console you can lower the radio and then
use the radio delete. It flips open when you want to adjust the radio.

With a little notch in the metal console you can lower the radio and
then use the radio delete. It flips open when you want to adjust the
radio.

Notice too - when I looked for a cruise control for 5332 I first
tried to find the Audiovox CCS-100 unit that I seem to remember was
mentioned on this forum.A Audiovox has quit making this unit.A So
I tried a Rostra - electronic.A Worked with their tech support for
3 months - trying different things, off and on, time permitting.A
Probably 30 calls.A Finally gave up and Summit gave a full refund
after they read my negative review.A God bless Summit.
So, searched, found a reference on a forum that indicated that an
outfit was still making the Audiovox unit, but selling it under a
different name -

Funny thing is, they include the Audiovox tech line in their
write-up.A Clearly the same unit.A AND IT WORKS.A Perfectly.A
Put one on the Daytona coupe - works there too!A If you want to go
this route - be aware - you have to add a relay to provide a ground
if you have LED tail-lights.A
Why this discussion?A Because, in the photo, you will see the
cruiseA control switch module below the original rocker.A No
drilling or change to the hole in the fascia - which is why l really
like being able to stick stuff in the radio delete plate - keep the
original dash parts undrilled.
Note - the cruise control switch module comes grey - what you see is
the original shell sprayed with crinkle-finish paint.A Came out
nice I think.
The new steering wheel shows up (finally) tomorrow!
