Default Alpine KCE 400BT - Install location

Hi all
Ive had the Alpine 305S installed for a few years and I wanted the addition Bluetooth connectivity so that I can use Spotify without having to keep plugging in my phone (iphone) as the lightning connector is in the central compartment.

Ive purchased the KCE 400BT unit and I was wondering where you you guys have located yours as theres no room left where the headunit is located.

Thanks

unclefester has one of these, so maybe PM him?

Alternatively, I got one of these
Amazon Amazon
which connects to the normal Aux-In of my Alpine 9887. Combined with Android Auto (or Apple Car Play in your case) it works well.

As per PM - to the back and left of the airbag controller under the radio area - there's a HUGE amount of space on top of the transmission tunnel but you really have to carefully work stuff back in there.

Would it make any sense to install a head unit with blue tooth included?

Yes - very much so. Why would you want some bulky external box when you can have it integrated?

I already had the alpine 305s and I'm happy with so I just wanted to add the extra functionality.
If I was in the market for a new HU I would have got a newer one with it included.
