I am very happy with the outcome of these pictures as it shows the true form of the MOBILE U Cube built by Auto Tech Interiors. We were honored to be a part of this project for SEMA 2009 and it was awesome having the best Cube at the show (well, in our opinion of course.. ) Check out the rest of the buildup here with detailed information on the parts used in this project: SEMA Cube Build-Up. Bean Garage now sells a few of the parts used on this car, such as the Wet Okole seat covers, the Agency Power shorty antenna, and coming soon the DC Sports exhaust and ATI Front Grille+Custom Sub Enclosure.

Back from the madness of Las Vegas and the SEMA Show of 2009 — both impressed and tired! There was a lot to see and do, and there are going to be some exciting new products coming for the sub-compact market that we like to offer top-notch products to. Stay tuned over the next couple days on beangarage.com for new product additions, as well as a new packages!

Much thanks to ATI for showing us a hospitable fun time! Model Corissa Furr just couldn’t keep away from the Cube.

Thanks to Andy at www.subcompactculture.com for snapping these pics of the completed Cube at the Falken booth (#43025) at this year’s SEMA show. Our sponsored 2010 Nissan Cube is designed for the active person with uncompromising style. We will have a full photoshoot soon, but I wanted to post these up as they are the first pics I’ve seen posted on the internet. Auto Tech Interiors did a great job with this project, using only the best parts that are available for the Cube, along with some unique prototype pieces. Read about the progress of the Cube here!

Mobile U SEMA Show Project Build-Up – Pt. VII – AUDIO!

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:30:14 +0000

VII: Audio

A key ingredient to supporting the active lifestyle is acquiring navigation and quality audio, at a reasonable price.

JVC mobile (http://mobile.jvc.com/) had the experience to not only meet our demand, but also come up with a set up specifically designed for the Cube’s interior.

For navigation and audio management, the Arsenal Series was selected b, KW-NT1Navigation Receiver. We were very impressed with its user friendly, detachable, 6.1 inch widescreen touch panel and its extensive list of features. The double din receiver was a direct swap with no cutting/ modifications, replacing the OEM receiver. All required was a wire harness adapter (Nissan 2007+) and antennae adapter. Both wire harness and antennae adapter can be found at most stereo shops or even Crutchfield.

As for speakers we used:
Two pairs of Arsenal 2 way, 6.5” speakers (CS-AR650)
And
A 10” subwoofer (CS-AW7040) enclosed in a custom ATI box, designed for use with Nissan’s Genuine Cargo Organizer. If anyone is interested, please feel free to let us know.

To power everything up, we selected the Arsenal Digital Mono Amp (KS-AR8001D; 700W RMS x 1 at 4 ohms) for our 10” sub and the Arsenal Digital Mono Amp (KS-AR8004D; 120W RMS x 4 at 4 ohms) for our highs.

The Cube is now in its final stages of completion, we will be sure to post the Cube at SEMA when all is said and done!

Part VI:

The Cube is coming along! SEMA show starts November 3 where this project will be unveiled at the FALKEN Tire booth.

We are certainly one of the millions who suffer from rack envy…we checked out http://www.yakima.com and quickly found a cur!

Yakima’s prescription:
- Q Towers (pt # 8000124) a solid foundation for transporting necessities for our active ways.
- 58” Cross Bars (pt# 8000409) to provide load support from front to back.
- Q31 Clips (pt# 8000631)
- High Roller Bike rack to comfortably transport our K2 ZED 4.0 Hardtail Mountain Bike.
- FAT CAT 4 w/ Locks for our Ride snowboard.
- The Load Warrior and Load Warrior Stretch Net for everything else!!!
- 50” Fairing providing aero dynamics and killing the occasional whistle caused by wind.

Mobile U SEMA Show Project Build-Up – Pt. V – The Wheels

admin — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:29:42 +0000

One of the most important elements of building a project like this is that the wheels match up with the rest of the car’s theme. SSR supplied these 3-piece Professor SP1R wheels in 16″ for our Cube, and I must say they look brilliant! The SP1R spec on these Professors signifies that they are made to fit smaller cars, such as the Nissan Cube, Honda Fit, or Scion xB. Wheel specs are currently confidential, but Bean Garage is planning on offering a wheel package that mimics the one on our SEMA ATI sponsored Cube. The above pic is the front wheel, and below is the rear wheel in this staggered set up.
