Another upgrade I can't recommend enough is the Counterproductive double DIN panel! Super easy to install and gives you 2 ram mounts for phones, GPS and even a removable cup holder option you can buy from them! Great video! I'll keep that goal zero in mind as my hubby has a cpap and I love how that fits perfectly between the seats!
Thank you Stephen. I am slowly converting my Element into a micro camper. I love the idea of the Goal Zero and how it fits nicely. I will check into the molle panel bags also.
Yeah the bags are so clutch I am going to add similar bags for the back doors as well just need to find the perfect fit. That’s cool your converting your element!
Great video! Just a tip (if I can), those molle bags are pronounced like “Molly” (or that’s how we called them in the Army. Great content as always and thanks for the videos!!
I hope Honda brings these back in 2025 with a new engine. little peppier! maybe a nice inverter in the back on the side that you can hook your portable battery bank!
You must not live in a hot climate because if you did you would not block the ac vents. I bought a magnetic mount that fits in the cd drive of the stereo and have a thick metal pad that keeps it on very good. I can position it so it does not block my vents with my ipad. I have a mount for my phone to the left of where your is that I just screwed into the dash because the suction cup would eventual melt off on a hot day.
Great upgrades, I really like the side bags and being in the desert those will help keep items dust free. Good tip on the yeti. I didn’t see a clear view of that holder so not sure if it’s the same as the size in my 2003. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
The problem with the cupholder is that it sits in front of the Subwoofer and I don’t know about you but I always spilling coffee even in my console cup holder. I have an 04 and need to get a center console that sits higher
I USED A WATERLESS CAR WASH ( CHEMICAL GUYS) THE PROPYLENE SIDES AND FENFERS OF MY ELEMEMT AND IT FADED THE COLOR AND LEFT AWFUL UGLY MARKS AND SWIRLS. LOOKS HORRIBLE. PLEASE IS THERE ANY RESTOATIVE REMEDY FOR THIS?
I’ve seen people use toaster grease or back to black (if you have black panels) I was happy with back to black use at your own risk friend. You can see a video on made with the results on my channel.
Warning, make sure the Cover King seats will work with your Element if you have the seatbelts integrated into the front seats. Also watch out for the Side airbags!
Don't you have rubber mats in the front of your Element? Maybe you took them out for this video. If you don't have them , I wouldn't spend a dime on anything other than the rubber floor mats.
Once your iPad goes out or if you have extra money. Get an Android. It's a better system. Why because you can use OBD2 port and link your engine management to your Android tablet and monitor it while you're driving.

Yeah I’ve seen that double din panel super sweet! I love all the gadgets people come up with for the element.
One of the most basic essential need is to get a suction cup shade for the moonroof. Takes down the heat in the car tremendously.
That’s a super smart idea Amazon?
@@StephenAldaco i have one from HeatShield and it’s like $50 but it’s custom fit. Definitely keeps the heat down and my fridge doesn’t run as much
@@GeneralObservation24 do you have a link to the custom sunshade you purchased?
Why not put mirror shade film on it?

Great video, i purchased the ipad holder. I have an older ipad that i no longer use but this gives a reason to use it now! Thanks Stephen!
Awesome! It’s gear enjoy! Perfect for watching a little RUclips during lunch breaks

Now i know what the 2 tabs attached above my radio and next to my hazard lights button are for!!
Just picked up a 2011 element ex
Sick, congratulations. Welcome to the club!
@StephenAldaco yes... Way to many plans. I'm saving money for a JDM k24a2 short block
Cool. Keep the videos coming.

This will be my first summer with it the phone mount held up well in Southern California but we will see how the iPad mount holds up

Pretty sure the 03 / 05 have the same center console

how long is the battery life on the goal zero
What year is your Element again? Mine is an 03 and amazon says this cars eat cover doesn't fit mine :(
05 the seats are the same should work!

@@StephenAldaco You read my mind. A btl. of toaster grease is on its way to me. Hope it does the trick. Appreciate your kind reply.
Have you ever installed a k and n short ram intake on the element? If u did, has it improved the Honda elements performance in any shape or form?
I have not personally. I’m sure someone on here has
#6- a hot babe into element life
Thanks Stephen, do you use an adapter to connect the iPad to aux input for audio?
Yea there is a usb-c adapter that can charge and play one goes into the aux the other goes into the cig lighter
@@StephenAldaco Can you send a link to this?
Yep, a link would be great. Thanks, Stephen
You coming to Elements on the Dragon?
I don’t think I can make it unless I get someone to watch my dogs I can fly over!

Good call out. Thank you for that.
Ooof $74 for that cupholder? Hard pass
I got it for my Hydroflask. Company was great. Make sure you mention what year E you need it for.
I can get the same one for 3.99 in temu
Awesome
Nice😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Hope you dont need those vents!

Hi Judy I do not have them but they are an accessory you can buy
Your dash is going to crack from the weight of your iPad and phone.
Thats nit al the upgrade you did what about the centeer console?
Once your iPad goes out or if you have extra money. Get an Android. It's a better system. Why because you can use OBD2 port and link your engine management to your Android tablet and monitor it while you're driving.
I really like the side bag item. I'm going to get that for my doors too. 👍🏽😊 CUSTR. 🚐🐾🐕
side bags are perfect!
