You can always stick in your glovebox or center console.

I actually removed the piece with the clock and hazard/rear-defrost, took out the clock and remounted the buttons, then installed the DVD player up there...took a while to get it done, but it looks pretty good.

Yes Please do, I have a tv molded in where the double din is and my PS2 under my passenger seat so its just a hassle to play a movie. I thought about doing this but wasn't sure if it would work. Can you posst the pictures of where you relocated the buttons too?

I definitely will....it took quite some time to get it how I wanted it. Just to give you an idea, I had to make a molding of the original piece so I could get the curve measured accurately, then I heated plexiglas and bent it around the molding to make a new dash piece. I used mini-SS toggle switches (Radio Shack) and used blue LED's for the on indicator (the wiring was quite interesting). There was more that went into it, but that was the general concept.
