yeah definately want to drill into the secret compartment but ill leave that to someone who knows what they are doing...until then i dont know what im going to do...ill leave it locked in the glove box for now!

 

Well I should have my pics ready to go by sunday... I need to go get a big drill bit and a grommet (to make it look nicer, not that you'd ever see it on a normal basis..) then I can drill away

Are you located around tampa?

 

east orlando...so not really...but if you get this done successfully then i would be willing to drive there when i get my DCI so we can re route the ipod...

 

Well I scratched up my secret compartment doing the install.. but that's my fault for drilling it in a dark garage after a bad day at work

Oh well, I sanded the instead to help smooth out the damage, still looks bad but I'll get over it. Here's some pics, obviously we can protect yours a lot more

marking the center of the hole:


Drilling, adding the grommet, etc, the grommets I found were either too small or too large so I took a larger one and cut part of it out:




Fitment:



Wire with grommet:


Final wiring up to the headunit:

 

looks good....

 

Yeah not bad except for the gouging of the damn compartment when the drill bit. That's my own dumb fault though

I hope to have the whole glove box reinstalled today and the speaker brackets modified for the alpine speakers. I'll post a few more pics with that completed.

I should be getting me wiring supplies in tomorrow so I'm hoping to completely finish everything on sat morning.

I may be driving through Orlando on the 28th or 29th, if I do I'll let you know in case you want to see it in person.

 

yeah please do...i would love to see this in person

 

Here's some more pics for you with the glove box and center console and a pic of the mid range/woofer mounted.

ipod cable leading out of the glove box area going to the head unit:


Glove box and center console reinstalled:





Alpine Type-S components mounted to modified stock brackts with included alpine adapters:

 

definately looks good...the more pics i see the more i want to go home and do this haha

 

Thanks to everyone for the help!!!!
