Quite possible at any good accessories stores.

Digital speedo-cost depends on the type of model

Arm rest-1K-1.5K including installation

Steering wheel remote-1K(both universal and pioneer remotes are available).

The seat has the seat scab and the backrest-only the backrest has to be modified and it can be done on the very same backrest.

Kindly provide the model number of the HU-for the checking the possibility for a remote.

The 'sony DVD player' wont be compatible-if the same is not original.

Even i am talking about the rear seat arm rest-which comes in the center-whats the confusion?

Two ways of doing it.

-non-folding-attach a block of sponge in the center of the seat(believe me i have seen cars like that).

-Folding type-what you should be getting done-the required amount of sponge is cut and a new block of sponge with a hinge at the lower and inner end is attached to the rear seat scab frame.

hi Mr Thomas,
Can you advise me a dvd player @5000/- ( any make but works good) which is compatible with that seering mounted remote. And Can I keep a glove box in the center of front seats?

Sorry friend i dont known any DVD player for 5K-Megaudio is a brand that you can check out-but unlikely that it will be priced at 5K.

About the arm rest+center box-there are several makes available-dont recommend them as they hinder with gear changes(2nd/4th and reverse).

I tried this and I had understeer, I tried that and I had oversteer, at the end of the corner I just ran out of talent!
