Haltech CAN Keypad Console Mount
Toyota JZS171 Crown
- Problem
- The centre console is a compound moulded surface with no drawing and no flat datum, so a keypad on a guessed profile rocks, gaps at the trim edge or ends up out of reach.
- What I did
- 3D scanned the console, processed the mesh in Blender and rebuilt the trim as solid CAD in Inventor.
- Set the keypad position by reach and line of sight from the driving position.
- Iterated the insert through seven printed revisions until the trim gap and keypad angle were right.
- Result
- A direct fit insert that drops into the ashtray aperture with no trim modification. The keypad sits flush to the console trim, and the factory ashtray insert can go back in.
