...and yes, all the trim is going to be painted that day too.
I dont know if you assessed the work yet but the HVAC wires will have to be extended and and theres also small vacuum tubing that my limit where you can move it to. You may have to cut away some plastic behind consoles also, but you shouldnt have any other problems moving it there though.
I wish I had that center console like yours it would have made my install so much simpler. Ive gone through so many versions and i ended up mounting the monitor under the radio. The short throw shifter is still in the way but tolerable for the moment. I still want a more integrated look though so i may give it another shot.
I currently have a 6" LCD screen where my radio and HVAC controls were... now the radio is in the "pocket" of a pre-98 console and the HVAC controls are custom fitted where the armrest "was". Made a plate to mount the unit in, and put it in the armrest "hole". Its not very diffuclt to relocate... just tedious. Just moving the controls down a a foot from its current location shouldn't need any extensions in wire of vac hoses... mine seemed to be long enough for it to go where the ashtray is. But, I ran mine quite a long distance.... PM me for a way to easly do this with the vac hoses if you do have to extend them.
