Looks nice. Does it snap in nicely? Is it sturdy? Will it fall out under
hard acceleration? Is there bad glare on the screen? I like it!!!

As promised, I snapped some photos of the iPod Mini install:

Pretty cool, eh?  I took out the two blanks between the passenger seat
heater and the AntiLock, and slid everything down 2 spots (with the
exception of the blank in the middle which is actually larger than the rest
of the positions).  I relocated the cigarette lighter behind the scenes,
(along with the Belkin adapter) so I can return it to stock when I go to
sell the beast some day.  I had to notch the plastic (behind the
wood) on the climate control trim piece, as well as add (4) 1/4 inch spacers
to move the climate control unit and ash tray forward 1/4 inch to clear the
plastic plug on the bottom of the iPod.  I think I will cut a piece of Black
plastic laminate to fit behind the iPod to clean up the look of things when
it is out of the car...



I also finally got around to swapping the Bose speakers out of the doors
(pulled the amps when I did the radio).  Put in some 4" Pioneers that I got
free from work: http://198.107.18.114/v8q/pics/DoorSpkrs.jpg 

There is a problem in that the Bose are 3 hole speakers and all other
speakers are 4 hole...  I bent one of the tabs on the Pioneers and
reinstalled the Bose 3-hole 'grill', making sure to hit one of the 4 Pioneer
holes.  The rest of the speaker is held in place by the grill.

Happy New Year to you all!

Regards,

- Jeremy
