I remember my S4 having a panel and a small pocket under the radio for stock but I switched to the S5 rubber surround. Did the S5 have something similar to fit with the rubber surround?

 

yep! there were plenty of choices depending on which radio came in the car, if any.

i'm about 2-3 weeks away from making flat pieces that fit there, i want to mount gauges, but its 3d printed so its not hard to do oddball stuff

 

I can't find anywhere to buy those pieces. I'm putting in a single din head unit because my stock radio clunked out. Would you be able to 3D print a flat piece and pocket and how much if yes?

 

they are NLA from Mazda. i'm working on the 3d print, i should have a test piece shortly.

 

If you don't mind taking some photos please do thanks. Just curious what 3D printer did you go with? Been kind of interested lately specifically for things like this lol.
