VW Touareg Dash Storage Bin & Cover

[Gunship]

Maybe a stupid question but I have not heard of anybody that does not want one ?

So why in America is it not standard ? (like in SA ?)

Dash Cubby

The best 175 you will spend- very nice upgrade IMO.

We have it as standard equipment.

My Garmin Nuvi fits nicely inside and it is in full view without me looking down when I Nav.

The rest of the cubby hole is for cards and change etc .. a nice feature

Does it look any different from the "A" version?

Once I can get some funds together I want this! (and the V10 grill).

Do you have pictures of your Garmin Navi un full view? I was planning to get it (the navi) but I don't know where to put it...Thanks!

I'm sure Gunship will have better pictures, but here's what my Garmin StreetPilot 2610 looks like in the "Euro" dash storage bin (Version A):

The storage bin will not close with the Garmin in place, but it is easy to remove and stick in the glove box if required.

The cover of the bin also acts as a great sun shade!

Good morning (early Summer's AM)

I will take as soon as the sun is up

Why do you need 2 navigation units?

Ok here we go :

for those wanting to visit me - here are the directions

The "installation" consists out of the NUVI resting on it's own bracket. Easy

This is my eye level view ( I am only 5vt 11). So it is by far the best eye level view I have seen. Some Nav systems are way too low and you take your eyes of the road. (Sorry I am an Pilot and Air Safety Officer for 27 odd years ). According to me this is where it should be in any car.

Hope it helps

Because the Garmin gives me much more useful info than the OEM DVD NAV.

Info I get on the Garmin and not on the OEM:

1.Accurate road speed
2.Upcoming road name
3.Detailed road name info
4.Altitude without having to go to a different dispaly screen

I also like to have backup.

Frankly, if we had a GPS-accurate digital speed readout available in the MFI or on the factory NAV unit, I'd probably give up the Garmin.

Where can I find installation instructions for this dash cover piece? Thanks.

Florida Chris, here you go.

I would highly recommend this upgrade. OEMPL.US seems to have the best deal on the latest version.

Please note that the new facelifted Treg has an 'improved' version! The new one actually has a lock bottom on the front, making the hole cover sit more secure when closed. It really makes a much more solid impression than the old one. I'll try to get the part number of the new one next week.

Thanks!

Another project on my list.

A more solid impression? The one we have(original) is rock solid in its placement.

BTW I will shortly have my covered bin up for sale. I will need someone to send me their original tray to replace it as the dealer threw mine away when they put the covered one in...

Bringing this back to life. Does anyone have one for sale or know where I can buy the covered cubby? I'll be needing one shortly.

[fincher]

Bet you can find it via VW Parts Dept. There were a bunch on the West Coast. The trick is finding a person who is patient enough to dig it out for you in the ordering system and having it sent to your dealer. But, I know for a fact that VW did have them in the States for sale.

I do not have the part no. Good luck!

Take a look a the similar Porsche model as they all have the cover. The dash is the same shape and in a salvage yard it may be a lot cheaper if you can match the color.
