Default Where can I purchase an Accent change box?

I've seen a left-hand drive Accent with a small change box below the air vent and dimmer switch.

I believe the Accent is a Canadian model, but I haven't been able to contact the car's owner nor obtain further information about it, and inquiries about it at my local dealer have proven useless. I want to purchase the panel, the change box, and any related hardware.

Can anyone help find out where I can get it?

Welcome to HA.org! Glad to see you made it over here. As I posted in HP, check with some Canadian dealers and online at ebay.

Hmm...never seen that before. Maybe it's Canadian, could also be European or Australian.

Hello Everyone,

The owner was located in Victoria, British Columbia.

Geography was never my best subject, so... where is that?

Hello, Everyone,

Actually, I found both Victoria, British Columbia and a dealer willing to order and send me the parts. It's a little expensive, so I may have to decide whether it's worth the investment just to have this unique (in my part of the world) item.

At the least, it would be a factory-made addition to my interior that actually would serve a purpose.

If/when I get it, I will post some pictures of the installation.

Take care, everyone.

Sincerely

Eric

You could look around and see if there are any junk yards up in Canada that would be willing to send you the part a little less than what the dealer charges. smile.gif
