Why...because I needed the space...I molded a fiberglass replacement for the airbag cover and installed another 8" touch screen to link to my existing onboard PC.
I needed to remove the airbag module to use the housing to mount the electronic equipment that drives the system. I'm including a pic below...but its not the best quality 'cause it's night, with a cell camera, and I've got some finishing touches to do this week.
Basically it gives the passenger a screen that can access any feature from the onboard computer...nav, topographical maps, inclinometer, mp3 media, dvds, blurays, OBDII, Internet, weather, etc... that the driver can access. The airbag on/off switch will be replaced with a power control for the secondary screen and a headphone jack in the event that the passenger wants to watch a movie while the driver listens to music.
I'm planning on posting more (better) pics later this week to document the mod.
