Smoking is out, infotainment is in baby! Ditch that outdated ashtray for a flat and smooth metal surface you can use for more important tasks - like getting your tablet mounted up.

This GoWesty Ashtray Elimination Kit installs in minutes, giving you a clean, flush fit mounting surface right in the center of your dash. The blanking plate is made of thick, heavy-gauge powder-coated steel, making it the perfect platform for all sorts of magnetic, suction-cup, and bolt-on accessory mounts. If you are seeking that Tesla dash look with a big old screen front and center, your wish just came true. Looking to add a super strong mount for your phone or tablet that won't fly off when the pavement ends? This is what you've been waiting for. Given it is made of steel, magnetic bases work like a charm. Want to take it a step further? Drill into the plate and bolt down whatever you wish!

We look forward to seeing all of your creatives uses for this simple and versatile product!

Fits: All 1980-91 Vanagon models with the dashboard that has padding around the ashtray opening. For vans with no padding around the ashtray opening, this product will still work, but will not sit perfectly flush. See additional photos.

Ashtray cover

I needed a mounting spot for my backup camera CarPlay monitor, this fit the bill and saved me time from making my own. Just modified by adding a hole for the wires to pass through.

Great for newer generation headunits with extendable monitors.

Worked like a charm with the Pioneer DMH-WT7600NEX headunit receiver that has a heads up display which mounts away from the computer/brain (which I installed under passenger dash). Easy install. Stereo changed the car for the better.

Works

The way it is packaged caused it to arrive a scratch. Drilled out a spot for a USB plug and to mount my phone. Crimp nuts are “ok”.

Perfect to mount phone or tablet

Really easy to install, use a 1" mount ball to have a versatile system.

Mounting point

Using this as a mounting point for a stereo screen, much thicker than I thought it would be. Nice quality.

I does work

This plate fits just fine. I had a little trouble with the nut that have to be pressed in. One of them fell out but my son was able to laser weld them in place. It is a little finicky with a padded dash but all in all, it works.

Hefty

It might not need to quite so thick, but you know it's not going to bend, so it's probably a good thing they made it robust. Good solid powder coating. I dig it.

Ashtray Elimination Kit

Very nice plate and hardware. The plate was very thick and heavy and the texture matches the metal T3 dash perfectly. It truly looks like an OEM part. I needed this plate as I have installed the in-dash AC unit.

Ashtray gone

No more ashtray. This plate is a good fit.

Could be aluminum or plastic

I would have preferred aluminum or plastic. This steel thing weighs in at a whopping 1/2 lb. But it looks great. My plan is to drill a hole, and mount a 12v cig lighter (the irony is not lost on me there...), for powering the gps and what not.

Bye Ash tray

Feels good without the unsightly ash tray

Ashtray

Somewhere over the 35 year life of my van, somebody actually used the ashtray for whatever they were smoking. The previous owner used it for their spare change. Decided to get rid of it altogether...I think the dash looks much more streamlined now.

Great!

Fits great! I used it to mount ram ball mounts and the gowesty 12v charger port
