    Not my cup of tea.

    I thought about it. I still want my square box of Kleenex tissue to blow my other horn.
    I am looking to find a single cup holder to fit into the ashtray slot. I have contemplated a new Mini swing holder and a GM SUV holder. I am still searching.

      I'm hoping to do the same thing soon myself. I bought cup holders but am going to wait until I can really upgrade the stereo system. I think the placement is a great idea.

        Neat idea! I thought about doing that, but then I got bored.... I mounted mine in the glove box Everyone see's the speakers then asks about the radio! haha That or i turn the stereo up before I get to a friends place that hasn't been in my car yet, close the box then ask then to turn the radio down for me! hehehe I love the look on thier face when they reach for the normal spot and see the gauges I installed there and go "Where Did You Put The Darn Thing!!!" LOL

                  i was planning on doing that with a cb radio
                  it'll do the 1/8 in 13.7, spin tires, and make all my drunk buddies giggle.

                    Out of curiosity how is it with vibrations/cd skipping? Also does your remoter read through the glovebox or do you have to open it everytime?

                      93SOHC - Its not too bac with skipping.... I was actualy pretty surprised because of my crappy coilovers causing a ruff ride but it actualy does well, plug the cd deck plays CD's burnt in an MP3 format and its virtualy skip free with that.

                      The cd deck didn't come with a remote, but you can get one aftermarket.. But it will not read through the glove box due to the fact most remotes are infered, meaning it does not put out a radio frequency or such...
