CD/MP3 player in radio slot - '71 Ghia

Have you thought about installing it in the glove box?

I did, but I'd rather have it in the radio slot, though I may have to re-visit the glove box option.

Less tempting to thieves in the glove box.

I cut my dash to make room for a nicer radio because I wanted it to be all nice and clean and comfy inside my bug. Here's a picture where you can see the radio a little bit:

Ooh, wait... Better shot of radio:

That's what I call a muddy bug interior.

Yeah! The rest of us just get dust on the console :) - What the heck happened there, Shag?!?!

Old story...

I saw something at maplin.co.uk (no direct link am afraid) that allows you to plug an mp3 player into the ariel socket of an existing ICE head to play mp3s.

Not ideal quality but might be a solution.

I am facing same problem, don't want to cut into my 68 dash, but unsure if want to be reaching over to glove box every time i want to change something on stereo.

Had something in an old mini once that was like a cage that would bolt under the dash, four small holes better than cutting the radio space, added bonus of not havin the ugly centre console and being able to see/reach stereo (would need a detachable face one for security purposes though)

Spike

I cuurently have a 10-disk CD changer that plays through my existing stereo ( RF ?) mounted in the deck. I ran the control apparatus through the slight space between the stereo at the dashboard opening. It works well most of the time, but some MP3s crash the changer, and I have to go into the trunk and reset it. That's getting to be a hassle. Also, I'm assuming it's certain MP3s, depending on how they were encoded, because by re-encoding them, seems to correct the problem, and that's only if I could identify which ones are crashing the unit. That's also too big of a project , and I guess it could also be the unit. Although it's convient to have thousands on songs available, it's a bit of overkill, and I wouldn't mind dealing with the
