Shift, I've worked with you before. I know what to expect in terms of "help." I meant I would help you out by installing it.

Let's see what we have to work with when you get the unit, then decide on what we need to get.

Do you want it in the trunk? I have seen some people install under the drivers seat. With the changer mounted to the seat itself, you retain all seat travel and the ability to change disks from within the cabin. We can look at the possibility of this too.

Trunk would be best i think, but the under the seat is a good idea. We could see which will be easier. Thanks. I'll keep ya updated.

Someone even tackled putting it in the secret compartment.

We are NOT going to do that. It's a PITA.

I don't think the OEM one fits, but there was an alpine unit that does. Barely!

Do you have the changer yet? If you get it in, we might be able to do this on Saturday. There is another member that needs some help with a new head unit. I was going to work with him on Saturday too.
