What is that darn thing called ('97 Accord - blank panel where fog light switch would be)?
Hi, I just joined after getting a new-to-me '97 Accord LX sedan. I'm looking at adding my iPod into the mix through an aux -> CD changer adapter (around $60) since it will give me flexibility to use with other products along with my iPod. The question that makes things difficult is where I can route the auxiliary cable.
I was thinking about the glovebox, but I have an iPod car charger that generates a line-out signal and offers very basic controls (so I have a Dock Connector that charges/controls the iPod). This lead me to think about modding the dash itself. The most obvious thing is to drill in the plastic of the panel right above the radio - it would be used for the fog light switch on cars such equipped, but I'd like to pick up a spare to mess with or keep around, should I want to revert to the original looks. Unfortunately, I have not had any luck searching for spare ones on eBay or the web. I've only been able to find entire bezels that often include the plastic that goes around the radio, clock, and everything, or replacement switches that would fit that panel.
Anyone have an ideas? I'd hit up the local junkyard, but the way it looks, most of the cars there are Fords and GMs.
I'd put this in the appearance thread, but I figured that this would be more '94-'97 Accord specific.
