You could always put it in the glove box.

Re: would ther ba a way to put a CD player/mp3 player....
 

You could get a radio delete, buckets seats and then build a center console around that mp3/cd player.

Build a box that you can bolt to the front of your bench seat.... (I did not want to keep reaching for the glove box while driving...)

Put it in a center console. Mine is similar to this, but i put a 6-disc changer in there too.

yep I would put that sucker right in the glove box. Motorize the glove box door for extra kicks.

Sweet idea John!

Re: would there be a way to put a CD player/mp3 player....
 

they make ones that are a knobber in the dash but it controls a 6pac behind the seat or in the glove box

or measure out the heater controls slot and see what you can do with that.

Hey john whats that little button on the bottm of your counsel deal?? I would go with a center counsel idea myself..

Re: would there be a way to put a CD player/mp3 player....
 

so does this make me an a$$ or going to cut the dash to install one...

Re: would there be a way to put a CD player/mp3 player....
 

no it doesnt, i dont understand why people get so butt hurt over cutting a dash to put a cd unit in. if the stock stuff didnt suck so bad we wouldnt want to put in something better. now if you butcher a dash with a sawzall or a 4" grinder, you are on your own, but do a nice job and you wont hear many complaints

The buttons on the bottom of my stereo housing (there is one on each side) is the seat heaters.... Spoiled I am....

Re: would there be a way to put a CD player/mp3 player....
 

I've also seen a few dashes returned to stock after being cut up and for someone who knows how to weld it looks like a pretty easy job. I doubt I will be cutting either of my dashes but if I did, it sure wouldn't be the end of the world.

I was going to look into installing a CD player from a Silverado/Tahoe into the ashtray opening. Maybe set it back a little and put the ashtray face plate on a hinge/magnet to hide it.

Seat heaters nice touch..

Re: would there be a way to put a CD player/mp3 player....
 

This is what I did a few years back

Re: would there be a way to put a CD player/mp3 player....
 

I'm going to do that, all CD players come with a little remote anyway so all you have to do is drop the box, or get a remote extender....

You will have to hack your dash up to get that DVD, NAV system in... I would build a nice center hump box if you have an automatic tranny...

Re: would there be a way to put a CD player/mp3 player....
 

i got a radio delete and took out heater control it dont get that cold in southern california nine months out of the year anyway

Re: would there be a way to put a CD player/mp3 player....
 

I am using aftermarket A/C, with the controls in the factory radio location, and the radio in the factory A/C control location.

John, do you have any plans laying around for the front of the bench seat box you made?

Re: would there be a way to put a CD player/mp3 player....
 

Hi Fatmxmnr, I built it from scratch, but I do have some pictures that I can post later tonight to give you an idea of what I did. Check back with me tonight or tomorrow...

Re: would there be a way to put a CD player/mp3 player....
 

Here is the only shot of the seat frame and stereo box that I can find right now.... I welded the bar in the middle of the seat frame and it has three nuts welded onto it. If I find the other pictures, I will add them and TTT this thread..

Re: would there be a way to put a CD player/mp3 player....
 

thanks for the pics...that gives me a good idea of where to start
