The unique design of the MUD Dash Console offers the flexibility to mount the CD/Tuner head unit into one of two positions within the console and still leave plenty of room for ancillaries. Each console is made from tough ABS plastic and sports a textured finish that replicates the factory dashboard surface.

A huge advantage of the MUD Centre Console is that it comes supplied as a blank moulding for the user to tailor their own console layout to suit their needs. Using the MUD Centre Console, the design and layout permutations are truly endless.

Aside from being able to accept a standard DIN sized CD/Tuner head unit in either the upper or lower positions, the mouldings have been designed to accept standard sized 52mm auxiliary gauges as well as the most popular type of aftermarket switches. (Eaton & Carling). Another obvious advantage of the MUD Centre Console moulding’s versatility is that it allows the user to reuse any existing switches they may already have.

Two recessed mouldings within the console provide a neat method of relocating the standard rear-wash wipe switch (if fitted) and the 12v cigar lighter/power socket while for that finishing touch, the MUD Centre Console is fitted with an additional recessed oval moulding designed to accept a Genuine Parts Land Rover logo.

Each MUD Centre Console comes complete with a steel mounting kit including end plates and a fully illustrated fitting guide. (Land Rover badge extra)
