In my car the Phatbox fits with its cable/connector in the back and
the cover still closes with the cartridge in place, but only just.
The cable touches the inside fender wall but not severely kinked, and
the cover clears the cartridge with no extra clearance.

Maybe the Avants have less space there than sedans.

I drilled and tapped a couple of holes on each side of the Phatbox
to match the mounting hole locations on the car's metal "shelf" so
I could simply use machine screws to mount it (just like the
stock CD changer).  The position of the holes were carefully
measured so that the Phatnox fits as noted above.  I didn't have
to use the mounting brackets that came with the kit.
