Below are some pointers for how to clean and protect the vinyl upholstery. The information below is most important for the padded lid/ armrest in your vehicle, which is exposed to the most wear and tear.
Use a silicone free vinyl care product to protect the vinyl, plastic and rubber in your vehicle against UV from the sun. Vinyl care products will also protect your padded armrest from exposure to sweat, sunscreen and bug repellant, which are the main reasons high wear areas dry out and crack.
We use and recommend Bowden’s Own Vinyl Care. Grab yourself a great Australian Made vinyl care product to keep your interior clean, protected and looking fresh for years to come!
For additional protection on your padded armrest, we also sell custom made console lid covers made by Black Duck Seat Covers. These are available to purchase on our online store. Alternatively, get in touch with our sales team via email or on (02) 9546 7914.

A: The front accessories facia is on an ideal angle to fit a UHF radio, which you will need to see and operate while driving. There is limited amount of depth behind the front accessories facia. The width is also limited as a result of the airbag mechanism and deceleration sensor installed in this position (located under the factory cup holder to the left of the shifter). The following UHF radios can be mounted into the Full Length Floor Console:
GME TX3520 - the remote face of this UHF will fit in the front facia (we'd suggest on the passenger's side). The body of the UHF can be fitted inside the console close to the back. We'd suggest fitting a GME SPK-07 extension speaker as the speaker in this UHF is in the body of the radio (which would be muffled). Alternatively, if you are considering (or have already done) a stereo upgrade, you can wire the UHF radio up to the factory pioneer 4" speakers under the dashboard.
GME TX3100 and TX3120S - This 'super compact size' UHF will fit on the driver's side of the front accessories facia. We'd suggest fitting a GME SPK-07 extension speaker as the speaker in this UHF is in the body of the radio (which would be muffled). Alternatively, if you are considering (or have already done) a stereo upgrade, you can wire the UHF radio up to the factory pioneer 4" speakers under the dashboard.
GME XRS 330C and GME XRS 370C (+ any other UHF radios with all controls, speaker and and screen on the hand piece e.g. Icom IC-450)- The body of the UHF can be fitted inside the console close to the back. We can supply and fit an RJ45 plug in the front accessories facia for $40 incl. GST. to plug in your hand piece.
Other 'Super Compact', 'Mini Compact' and 'Micro Size' radios e.g. Uniden XTRAK 40, Oricom UHF300 etc. can be fitted on the driver's side of the front accessories facia.
Department of the Interior is an authorised GME dealer. We can supply and fit GME UHF accessories to your product. Feel free to get in touch with us over the phone or via email for more information on which products are compatible with your console.
