What dash piece is this?

Leonard1818 · 11-20-2008, 04:05 PM

This is NOT a USDM Si but rather one from Brazil. Is this their OEM dash piece? This looks cool and very OEM.

Any input anyone?

Yess, pretty sure it's their oem piece...I've always wanted the climate control on mine...

I'm more interested in the buttons up top... very big, very easy, look cool... WTF? Why did we in the US get shafted? This is an 08 Si in Brazil and they have auto climate control, I see a USB button on there... a nav button, a disc slot above the screen.... that whole setup kicks ass of my Si setup. NOT fair.

preference to dictate... I for one am very glad mine is NOT auto-control.. Just give me fan and temp knobs and I'm good... after wrestling with the auto in the subaru, I love going back to a manual setup.

man, why does US get the most basic setup

Looks cool, i like the u.s w/nav. version more...we could use a better nav. unit tho.

Well, I agree on that point... I had auto climate control in my RSX-S and I NEVER used it. I literally used it once to see if it worked and that was it. It's stupid since, for the most part, your preference will change anyway and you'll need to switch it up... So you set it at 62* and it gets to that temp and you love it. The next day, you climb in and set it to 62* but this day, your wearing jeans instead of shorts so once it gets there, your still hot... so you have to adjust it again anyway... it's dumb. I too perfer knobs and manual adjustments.

I was more concerned with their far superior navi setup... this guy said he has bluetooth too and obviously they've had USB before us...

No way, their setup looks far superior... they don't have to flip their screen down to put a disc in and stuff...

Have you guys seen this?

This is some aftermarket item from china or where ever. It was posted a few days ago. If it is indeed OEM from overseas, it's really cool!!

Is that a Photoshop dash .... ? ... LOL

dorkiedoode · 11-20-2008, 09:25 PM

that dash look cool. Then again think of the tax they have to pay for the car. 50%/100% tax?

The font used in the screen makes it look low tech.
