Center Console Expansion

[hgclim]

I was searching through the Rogue forums on options to mount a GPS unit to the dash. One of the threads has a link to a dash expansion piece which appears to be perfect for what I want to do:



Unfortunately, I believe Alibaba only sells in large quantity. Has anyone seen or bought this piece from anywhere else?

Not sure where you can buy that. But it does look nearly identical the binnacle used on the Qashqai in Europe... the Rogue's twin brother:

Unfortunately I don't think I can get the Qashqai lid-cluster.

The closest I have found is this:







I plan to ask the seller whether the trim can be sold separately without the GPS unit. I plan to retrofit a Magellan 1700 into the center console and add a reverse camera.

Similar to what others have done on their Titans (similar mods have been done on Infiniti FXs, Hyundai Genesis), I want to this to my Rogue:





If there's enough room after I stuff the Magellen unit in, I can possibly add a dash cam discreetly.

Too bad the Rogue doesn't have an original navigation bezel.

Too bad the Rogue doesn't have an original navigation bezel.

It sort of does, when Nissan redesigned the Rogue in 2011 they added a larger double-DIN sized radio with built in NAV and reverse camera. I still cannot figure out if the bezel was available separately though.

Both Metra and Scosche have similar dash kits that will allow you to install a Double-DIN audio unit as well. Some of the later head units are getting better too, Kenwood for example integrates a Garmin GPS into some of their models.
