Centre console switch panel
Hi All
I have quite a lot of electronics running in my bongo and when we've been camping for a while I find I run the battery down reasonably quickly
So I've been working on a switch panel that going to sit in the compartment under the centre console arm rest as I found I don't tend to use
that space, So I took the centre console off and 3D scanned it so I could design the switch panel fit nicely. I've attached some pictures below
of my progress, I've done a rough 3D print but I still have more to do,new wiring loom, new fuse box etc

That is really cool and neat...
Re: Centre console switch panel
Thanks its a work in progress, Will keep you all posted.

That really Interesting,
It is amazing how far technology has come along in scanning speed and accuracy, I use it every day of the
week to scan engine's, gearboxes, chassis etc and it makes my life easier to design up parts. But there an expensive bit of kit.

Awesome work which I saw on instagram also.
If you find you're running down your battery frequently, the attached is apparently a very reasonably priced monitor. You would normally have to pay at least five times that price for something with decent accuracy. I'm waiting on delivery of mine.

Indeed, that's a good price and a reasonable design from the limited info available.
There are also some other designs out now as well it seems see here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100A-TK15-Pr ... 2538730466

Re: Centre console switch panel
There a good Idea I was looking at getting one but as I new what draw I have on the battery using a multi meter
I'm wanting to isolate things like the dvd player, android stereo etc as they don't fully turn off. and I have bought a couple 500A 12v Isolaters
so I can disconnect the vehicle battery and when needed link the two battery's together as I wan't to be able to start the bongo and not worry
about it possibly being dead becuase lights being left on or it being sat on the drive for a long period of time.
We'll see anyway I will get it all done then think it was a waste of time
