I want to mount an amazon auto in the upper dash tray area.  It's the perfect spot for one, so that got me thinking a couple of USB ports would be cool too.   Has anyone taken that tray out, found any good spots for tapping into switched power ?  (or a route to the passenger side fuse box).    

 

thanks

Uh oh, I can’t be the only one that wants to see what’s under that tray ?  Has anyone else removed it ?

Nice ride, I looked at a red trail boss, it literally glows.  They did a good job with color depth in the paint.  
 

Im hoping someone comes up with a tech document on that tray, but my trim tool is calling my name...may do some surgery this week.

Would have been nice if they included some kind of power port up there. A usb charging port has to cost very few cents.

Seriously !  I bought a couple of direct wire 12v usb devices, one that is a single USB port and another that provides a mini usb for a dash cam.  About $10 on Amazon.  
 

Also ordered the Gen5diy tap for the mirror power, but it ships usps slow motion mail, so who knows when it will arrive. That has an RJ11 connector for a radar detector and a 12v wire set.  
 

so I’ll put the mirror tap in and power dash cam and have the option of putting another usb/or 12v device up on the overhead console. 
 

still doesn’t solve the dash tray issue though.  Does anyone have a parts diagram of the upper dash or know where I might find one?

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
