Default Relocate the Climate Control for New Equipment Layout

I was contemplating on doing an iPad, but since I drive the car no more than 10 times per year I decided to replace the almost 10 years old Kenwood headunit with another one.

I didn't like the position of the previous climate control and figured it would be more beneficial to relocate it to the very bottom and elevate another gadget to the top.

The elevation gadgets were a tossup between the headunit or my new AirLift 3P air suspension controller. The only sensible layout for cleanness was to mount the AirLift controller on top as I constantly adjust the ride height for NYC roads, head unit in the middle and climate controller on the bottom.

First pic was my previous set-up - custom kit for EQ and air suspension gauge.

Looks good. I like that you kept the middle top air vents. You should do the 12v meter display mod next to the clock to clean it up a bit better.
