Minor Disappointment - console panels

[rob88]

While the Grenadier was in its early design stages and being revealed, the console showed the great concept of having the switchgear mounted on individually removable panels held in with simple screws easily accessible. Sadly, this is not the case. At least the ceiling console panel is a single large plastic panel which does allow the individual switch panels to be removed even though they each have their own screws!

The panel does look like it could be sliced into the individual panels, and maybe this is the intent. But at least for now, changing or troubleshooting an individual switch is not as easy as removing 4 screws and having a look. I would like separate panels, and I am hoping there is a way to make this happen. I did not opt for the expensive add-on switches, breakers and pre-wiring, and was hoping to do something custom myself. Time will tell.

Actually it is very easy to take either switch panel off and access the switches.
Agreed individual panels would be a nice to have.

As you found, the dash switch panel is an entire integrated-circuit board.

Theoretically you could “break” the single panel apart and connect with jumper wire bus connections, but it wouldn’t really solve anything since there aren’t any available parts if one of those switches/turning controls go out.

During the development and very early press discussing the Grenadier I was under the impression that the vehicle would be built like a Hummer H1 (M998 Humvee), but that post on the central dash control board made me realize otherwise. TBH I found it to be pretty deceptive on Ineo’s part (and I still do).

Post in thread 'Has anyone successfully removed the Centre console panel?'

Jan 5, 2024

So, because I wanted to mount my TowPro elite controller knob in the empty top right-hand space of the centre console panel, (and my GME UHF microphone port in the top left), I finally managed to remove the centre console panel today (after I received some very helpful information from my local dealership). The dealership sent me several pages from their workshop manual which gave me step-by-step instructions on how to remove and reinstall it. It was quite a big job. Alas, the behind the plastic facade of the centre console, there is a large printed circuit board occupying the entire...

Who has disassembled the middle console already. How do i get behind all the turning knobs? I have sand in it. They scratch when i turn them. How do i get them off for cleaning?
