Vanagon Smart Tray

$45.00

It’s finally here! After many iterations, we have landed on a final design.
Say hello to the Vanagon Smart Tray by Campskills.

PETG 3D Printed – No glue, not fixtures, no crap.
Designed to take the place of the ashtray
Customizable Toggle switch feature. Suggested GoWesty Radio Toggle
Easy install

NOTE – For Vanagons 1986-1990 – Your Dash should look like the one in the photo for compatibility
An affordable head unit is easy to purchase from Amazon. We’ve been testing this unit, and it’s great!

It’s here! Completely redesigned to be 3D printed!
From what we have seen there isn’t a clean solution for a CarPlay/Android Auto head unit in the Vanagon.
So we made one! We have been using it for over a year and we love it.

Why we love it-
– It’s clean and simple
– Fits in the ashtray location on the dash with perfect viewing angles
– No big monitor housing
– No ugly robot arms holding up screens
– The head unit we’ve chosen is affordable and wireless to your phone.
– Easy installation and removal
– No drilling- gluing, or sticking
– Integrated GoWesty Stereo Toggle Kit or whatever switch you may want to use.


What you need:

1: Stereo Keyed Power Toggle Kit  – or the like

2: 2024 CARPURIDE C98 9 Inch Car Play Screen for Car    – under $100 and works great!

 

We use the Stereo Keyed Power Toggel as a way to power and control the Head Unit as well. Check out the GoWesty video below to understand how that works.


Adding the CARPURIDE C98

(Note I am not an electrician- I’m purely showing 1 option for how to hard-wire the CARPURIDE into your van)

Power: There are several options here.

  1. Hard Wire as is shown here
  2. Use the provided 12V plug through the back of the dash to the cigarette lighter
  3. If you have updated your cigarette lighter to USB C you use a USC cable

Audio: AUX Cable

  1. Shown here running a cable from the CARPURIDE C98 to the stereo AUX port
    1. This can be routed behind the dash and out just about the center heater console
  2. Another possible option is to purchase the more premium CARPURIDE 9 inch W901 Plus (we have not tested) It looks as if it has multiple Bluetooth channels to allow for both phone connection and stereo connection. Try at your own risk but that could delete the blue aux cable in the diagram.
