Paul,
Any chance you would be able to track down the parts to accomplish this installation? Appearently they are part of the Holden Omega.

Sounds like the piece with the dials for the vents is a custom piece.

If you could put a kit together with these parts, I'm sure you would sell a TON of them!

I'll happily track down whatever Holden parts anybody wants.

I don't have access to a G8 to pull apart for R&D, so somebody else will have to figure out the patch harness, GPS bracket, and where to run the hacksaw thru the Right Hand Drive vent dial joiner strip.

I saw the post on the one of my infrequent visits to the "other" board as well and would be very interested. The guy was very vauge in what parts he needed but it looks GRRRR8. I'd like to avoid using a "hacksaw" on my car though. :D

cool idea but might be a PITA to do without hacking it up

Obviously its one of the new Omega pieces that need trimming. No need to butcher your car.

Dede did it on the other board. I'm guessing that it might be difficult getting info from him since he deals alot with JHP. I'm sure they don't want to give info to any competitors.

JHP will not sell custom bracket separately, or the PnP harness separately from the kit...
9-10 parts in the kit

I remember reading that Dede actually works for JHP.

Also, in my experience, Dede is not very helpful at all. He will post all this cool stuff, then not answer any follow up questions you might have.

Questions like “how do I make it myself” lol ?
It is made for sale, his not posting “do it your self “guide
Or you asking questions already answered ….

No, questions like "where do I buy this"? If it's for sale, you'd think he'd be willing to tell you where to buy it from.

and that was answered. It was posted that all parts came from JHP and says that the bracket is still under final development. Contact link to JHP was also provided.

I'm not talking about that thread. This was from a long time ago. Completely different subject.

I just finished this install on my G8:

I ordered the parts from JHP, but the only thing 'unique' that they provide is the GPS mounting bracket. The lower strip (under the vents) could have been cut, but it's hard to tell. I have photos from my install and of most angles of the parts (as people on the 'other' board may have seen). Let me know what you are interested and I'll thrown them online.

All of the photos are online in a zip file: GPS_Images.zip (http://www.unitonestudios.com/_Other/G8/GPS/GPS_Images.zip) (~26MB). They include the entire install of the in-dash GPS, HSV Smoker's Package, and a VIM/Back-up camera. They have been scaled a little, so if someone wants a full-res photo just let me know. Hopefully by this weekend I should have a detailed write-up about the install.
