I have a console plate for either a Jotto Desk or a Havis automotive console system for the CDM. I can trace it out on paper and shoot it to you as a .pdf or .jpg if you like.
FWIW, the radio sits a tiny bit loose in the face plate so I suspect that they want the installer to use some edge grommeting to make a snug but not too tight fit that won't rattle about in a car or truck. It's at least about a sixteenth of an inch larger all around.
Steve, thanks! I might take you up on that. When I was a Moto tech, we used to get those Havis console inserts, cut out the panel and then bolt in the Havis insert. It was a perfect bracket to rack mount a CDM and it looked good too. I have actually been through THREE different Havis vendors to buy these inserts. Two told me they could not quote me. One actually took my money and then I had to force them to refund after six weeks and nothing showed in the mail.
I would rather get the brackets, if I can find a vendor that can quote me, take my money and actually deliver the parts. As a last resort, I was hoping to either find a CAD file or draw up a CAD file so I could mill the panel on my CNC. It won't look as nice, but it's better than trying to hack it up.
It sucks not being in the industry anymore, I have no connections left
Now I just have this crappy NASA job
