Default How did they install a stereo in this location?

Is there enough room?

That's just the faceplate for a pioneer DEQ (digital EQ). There isn't a head unit behind it, so it's <1" deep. Very cleanly installed, though.

Edit: it may actually be their add-on FM CD Changer. And that's my final answer.

Okay, fine, it's an XM add-on tuner, feeding into an old-skool JVC El Kameleon head unit in the traditional place.

Great looking car, too.

White cab S2 with 968 rear and rocker panels... very nice looking car...

That's a nice car.

I'd bet you could sell lots of those boots/***** if there was a kit with a couple options. Id pay 150-200 for something that clean. Plus, it doesnt look like a *****.

I wanted to do this! But with a secretaudio remote in the place of that sat-radio. Would've put a center channel in the place of the head.

Too much $$ though, ended up putting in a Clarion Unit that when turned off, looks like a clean black spacer in the stock location.

Oh what could have been...

Guardsred, you mentioned that in another thread, recently, and I must say that I really like the idea of what secret audio does. I've rewired the workings of a couple of decks for integration purposes, myself (limited to adding RCA aux-in and preamp out to older head units) but I've always wanted more for my own use than I'm capable of doing without microprocessors.

There is no nerd skill I am more jealous of than electronics!

Hey, that's my old dash hiding under there!

Looks like a combination of Rob Budd's and Paul Champagne's work on the dash and the wheel/shifter. Good stuff!

Here's a link to the original thread
