Title: Dash Board Storage Mod.
Post by: Lucky Duck on August 29, 2012, 18:51:11: Hi All.
First post on here after having a good look round.
There's some excellent threads on fitting the storage compartment to the Dash top. - (Why wasn't it standard - or even an option??) - but before I go off and purchase the storage tray I have a question.
From what I can see the item is a part number 84770-2L000 XP, but in all pictures I've seen this is appended with (LHD). Is there a different part number for RHD vehicles? I notice that the centre console section with the radio, vents, switches, etc is slightly angled toward the driver.

Cheers

so it seems that you would need 84770-2L900 XP

Post by: Lucky Duck on August 30, 2012, 15:10:57: Hi Guys,

I meant to mention. My vehicle is Czech manufacture, 2012 model year and RHD.

Meehalych - thanks for the part number info. Internet searches seem to show lots of people selling the LHD version 84770-2L000 XP, but not what appears to be the RHD version 84770-2L900 XP.
I am a little puzzled at the info in your screen shot though:
The info in column 5 not only has the LHD and RHD difference but the rest of the text is also different. Also the date info in column 4 is different, as if one superceeds the other.
Can anyone translate/confirm what it means?

Post by: AlanHo on August 30, 2012, 19:21:03: If you have the new 2012 i30 you cannot fit the dash storage compartment. The dashboard is completely different to the previous model which at one time had one.

I don't understand why it wasn't standard worldwide either. :undecided:

Hi.
The first European models had the dash board storage.
Due to the visual obstruction caused by the lid when opened, and in order to get 5 stars in the Euro NCAP (http://www.euroncap.com/home.aspx) tests, Hyundai eliminated him.
Existed as an option, it 2 years ago.

If that is indeed the case, it's interesting that it achieved a 5 star rating with ANCAP (http://www.ancap.com.au/home) WITH the dashboard storage... :undecided:

I'd found that post of Shambles' but when I tried the links to the photos the first couple didn't work. I stopped trying at that point. Last link still works!

Looks like I'm going to have to find me a 84770-2L900 XP !
