I had a CD player in my 70 Swinger.Tried it in the glove box,wasn't happy.It was hidden,but I found it more convenient mounted under the dash.I'll probably do the same in the Charger for same reason.Not happy it will be seen,but I'm too lazy to reach over to mess with it and too cheap to buy one with a remote.I'd lose it anyway.Especially if the Kernel and me were takin a drive and gettin down in the ashtray.

 i have thought the glovebox is a good way to go cause the G.B. has no room anyway.. but it's too far away for easy access and out of the line of sight when closed for the remote to "see"... now, with the IPOD hook ups there's gotta be other possibilities... no console here either.. very interested in your continued suggestions.. and pics of your install/s...

Are you ready to trade that Charger for my Satellite?

I've since replaced this one with a DIN-sized Alpine CD unit.

I have a spare dash so I can hack away at it and make the radio fit (it was damaged when I got it)
I can leave my original dash complete and unmolested that way (on a shelf on the garage).

My solution was to install a small amp under the package tray and install 4 decent quality speakers. I ran the input of the amp into the center console. From there I can use either my iPod or Zune and still get FM radio. It works much better than I dreamed it would.

My newer radio. I am considering pulling it and the CD changer and putting in an Ipod compatible unit.
