What are my CD Changer options?

I just got the Max the other day and although it came with pretty much everything I wanted, it doesn't have a CD changer. I want a CD changer. What it my best option at having this? If I have to get a CD changer from BestBuy or someplace like that, is it possible to mount it someplace other than the trunk? Has anyone put a changer in their glovebox? If so, let me know what changer you got and how you installed it.

Later.

I got mine instaled under passenger seat too but i got access to it from the back, ease to reach even if someone is sitting on the front seat you don't have to move the seat.

I have a similiar question, I want to get the cd changer to, but I want everything to remain totally stock up front, since I have the "cd changer" button, I can do that right?

I'm thinking about getting an mp3 cd changer, 6 disc, thats like 800 songs!

If you'll buy aftermarket changer it's has to be fm modulated and then you don't need that button anyway.i got sony mp3 cd changer, 10 disc , wired remote and wireless and it's fm modulated.

How is the sound quality on you're fm modulated 10 disc? I was thinking of going this route, but afraid of extra noise vs. a integrated head unit/cd changer.

shouldnt be that much different then hard wired.. but i just suggest getting hard wired because fm modulated can get distortions from other stuff..

that's the problem , the sound quality is not the best but it depends on mp3's quality, i don't record mp3's if they're below 128kbps, better if they're 192kbps...i wanted to keep mine bose so that's why i went with changer fm modulated and i'm happy with it
