Where to hide cd player?
As titled,
Most people just put it in the glove box, or the boot,
But is there enough room above the glove box, or behind the ash tray,
My idea is to hide the radio then solder some wires from the radio fascia to the radio if you get my meaning. Then just put the display in the arm rest compartment,
Is this a good idea or just silly?
Thanks
Sean

Re: Where to hide cd player?
That seems alot of work to play music from your phone!?
Why not just get a power amp in the glove box and hook your phone/ipod/mp3 to that..?

Re: Where to hide cd player?
you have some good idea's and there a lot better than mine in my opinion but heres the finished project......
i put the head unit behind the ash tray, it fits really nice behind there and i can change the cd too.
