    changer in glove box

    i want to put my cd changer in my glovebox but not sure how to.
    also i am not sure if it will fit.

    it is a ten disc changer made by sony.

    cos it is pissing me off in my boot getting wet changing discs.

    I doubt it'll fit straight in unless it is very slim.

    My kenwood 10 disc did not fit into my glove box.

    However you could possible cut sections out of the glove box in order for it to fit as the glove box tapers back, so in theory, the openning is big enough. Time to get a measure out me thinks. There are already holes in the rear of the glove box where u could feed the cable.

    Alternatively look at mounting it under the front seats.

    If the glove box tapers at the back, take it out to see if it contours that way for any reason (i.e. to miss something), if not, chop a lump out the back as Andy suggests.
    Ive had my changer in the glovebox for a few years now, and it really is the best place ive found for it yet, it never skips at all. I have mine held down with adhesive velcro strips and it stays in place just fine. Just remember to adjust the bolts on the side to the angle it will sit at.

    Dunno about the shape of a Corsa glovebox but the Sony unit is a pretty chunky beast so try it up for fit first, see where it hits and what you might have to chop out.

    also depends on if you got air con or not, cause in the corsa the glove box is alot smaller if you have air con, best person to speak to is Dave at Chameleon, he had a 10 cd disc changer in the glove box of his 1st corsa. drop him a mail dave@chameleonautomotive.co.uk
