After searching the forum and reading all that seemed relevant I'm going to attempt to install my OEM overhead console. The unit is the compass and altimeter variant rather than the sub-tank version.
First things first, I'm going to break this thing down and clean it thoroughly with goof-off.
The next thing I'm going to do is head to the hardware store and buy some spray paint to try and match my oak interior. I looked for an oak trim model console for a long time and never had any luck.
My plan is to drop the headliner, install the magnetic field sensor and harness, modify the sun visors (I've seen a thread about doing this somewhere), and wire the unit into the switched power from the sunroof motor.
If anyone has suggestions or experience with this install I'm all ears.
