I mounted mine in the glove box (an Alpine S630).

It fits perfectly and was a very easy install, and best of all, it sounds excellent !

Crutchfield sells the changer and cable adapter together for $249. They were out of stock on the adapter last month when i was looking, so i bought it locally, but they have it back in now.

If you drill a hole in the back of the glove compartment big enough for the connector to go through (hole saw), when you remove the radio you should be able to feel around and grab the cable to avoid having to disassemble any more of the dash.

You need to connect a constant 12 volt source to the changer adapter. On my 94' 850, it was on a red wire on the top row of the radio connector (not the fatter red wire with the yellow stripe on the lower row).

With mine istalled in the glove compartment, i didn't use the long cable from the changer at all, the adapter cable was the perfect length for a clean install.

I use the pockets on the seatbacks for the stuff that used to be in the glove compartment.
