92 100S - cd changer mounting ideas

[Ryan Hoitink]

I went through the same thing about 6 months ago.  I discovered that the
only logical place to put the changer was under the rear parcel shelf in the
trunk.  Don't even think about trying to fit it in the glove box.(Although
yours may be smaller.. I have a 12 disc)  The stock location was vertical in
the passenger side well behind the rear wheel.  I wasn't too keen on putting
mine there, because of stuff in the trunk sliding around.  It'll be almost
impossible to find a spot for it in the passenger compartment.  If you do
find a spot, PLEASE let me know.

Good Luck.

I'm preparing to install an aftermarket cd changer (6disc) in my '92 100S.
I was wondering if anyone has found a trick location for one?  Also, where
did the OEM changer get mounted?  Under the read window tray?

I would prefer to have the changer available in the passenger area somehow,
but I haven't found a spot where it might fit.  With the power seats, there
is no room under the passenger seat for the changer (as I installed it in my
'89 GTI).  On my '95 Dodge Ram, the center front seat had enough room under
it that I mounted it there facing forward.  A very hand spot.

But in the 100, I haven't found the right spot yet.  The wells behind the
rear wheels aren't wide enough to fit the changer.  Above that area would be
fine, but there isn't a good way to attach it because the well is there :)
I'm trying to keep my luggage space as undisturbed as possible (I'm going to
need room for the amps and subwoofer when I get around to it, anyway).
Also, I've thought about above the glove box, but I haven't had the chance
to examine it enough.  My car doesn't have the passenger side airbag.

Any BTDT is appreciated.
