Hi,

I'm thinking about the best place for
installing the CD changer. Have seen a lot
of ideas for installing better speakers. But
I have never seen a good place the changer.
I don't like the standard place in the boot.
Is there enough room next to the spare tyre?

I just took out the spare tyre.

I've been thinking about that option too. At
least it saves some weight too! Do you have
an emergency spray can for 'repairing' a
puncture instead?

Yes, i haven't used it yet, but I used it in the past for my motorcycle and it works.

i can't think of better place then in the dash Alla- Nakamichi mb-75

 

What's wrong with the factory mount? Looks OK with the cover. The metal cage is rather nice too. I don't know if you can buy these pieces seperately from the factory changer.



I installed a Kenwood changer since I took that pic. Put it in the same place.

 

Well, I think it's quite vulnerable when
the changer is mounted like this. I presume
you don't have any bad experience with
this setup?

IMO it's not vunerable at all. It's a sturdy unit that you should have no problems with unless you are really abusing it.

 

My garage suggested putting in a changer in the wall to the left of the spare tire. As this required drilling out a large area, I decided not to tamper with what might be structural material. Probably isn't, but I still don't like the idea of knocking out a large bit of metal.

Front load CD player is not part of the Spanish specs, so can't even be ordered with the car! Drag! Still, I never even put the radio on. Thought it sucked first time I tried it, and it doesn't match up to the music of the motor! I listen to music when I get home.

No room in the trunk for a openly mounted CD changer if one wishes to squeeze in a suitcase & a trombone case, as I must.

By the way, I made the dealer come to my house with an S2000 to make sure it could come up the drive (large dip which the front end clears by only about 1 cm!), and that the 'bone case would fit in the trunk, before I bought the car. :>

You got the dealer to come to your house? That's as unheard of as a doctor coming to your house.
