That all depends on the year. There's no cables on my 01 so it would be quite easy.

Yep ... my 97 has "manual style" cables and I don't see it could be easily done in a functional way.
Based on the posts above I guess later years have no cables and it wouldn't be that hard.

It's just wires plugged into the control unit on my '01. No cables in the back of the controls on mine. I've been in there many times working on my led swap.
Edit: that said, they're pretty much cut to length and so you'd have to do some work in there to get them to reach down i think.

The depth is going to be a real problem. You can see how much that custom dash sticks out, and that's because there isn't as much depth in the upper half of the console as there is in the bottom.
This is going to be way more trouble than its worth for most people. You're going to have to fabricate a completely new trim panel for the center.

Hi All. I'm interested in swapping the climate controls with the head unit on my '01 Limited, as it'd be great to not have my floating head unit screen covering up the climate control buttons. I've come up with a few creative ideas, but ultimately none make as much sense as simply swapping the top and the bottom of the bezel.
Has anyone else finally come up with a borderline OEM-looking pre-fab bezel that would support this idea?
If not, any stereo installers (or ex-installers) hanging around who want to produce a custom piece, for the right price?

Anyone know more of how this was done? I ran across this on a Yotanation product. Very similar to the one shown in this thread. Relocating the ducts but not the controls seems like the ideal way to do this.

You can get those vents off amazon and ebay, even found rectangular ones that at more OEM in appearance 2X Truck RV ATV Heat AC Air Exhaust Vent Dash Ventilation outlet Universal USA+ | eBay
I know some Pioneer "floating" heads allow you to remotely mount the main electronics, and a lot of newer headunits have shallow bodies because they don't have CD players.

What I'm wondering though is what all is behind the dash, how would a go about tapping off the ducts and routing them down to the new vents. How would I close off the original vents. What do I then need to get a head unit mounted up in the higher position. I've never really done any kind of fabrication before and I'm at least trying to get an idea of what all would be involved.
