   Just got myself a CD Changer for my car, but where the hell to put it?! It's too big to fit under the passenger seat, or the driver's seat.
   My idea is to put it in the boot, but where to fix it to? I thought the side walls of the boot, but don't want to go through to the petrol tank or something daft like that, does anyone else with know-how have any ideas of what I can do?
   Cheers,
   - JC

   Lol, yeah there's one place I hadn't thought of, the frikkin roof.
   Nah I've stuck it in the boot for just now, and laid the cable under the carpet. I've got some brackets to attach it to the side wall like Al's...is it easy enough to do? Anything I should look out for or anything?

   yo.
   
   I've put mine in the glove box mate - makes it easier to change cds!!!!
   
   The glove box will require some "modifications" though:
   
   took me about 30mins to saw a section of plastic out of the bulge inside the glove box on the left hand side...
   
   This can make your glovebox look a bit messy, so i'm in the process of boxing the changer in by making a wooden surround to fit just inside the glove box and around the changer, and then overlaying some fabric to finish it off...
   
   
   If your interested, i'll take some pics to show ya when i've finished....
