No problems on the install. I think it took less than 2 hours.
There was a link for instuctions on how to remove the center console, and that worked great !
I pulled the little panel off at the foot of the passenger well, ran the wire under the glove compartment and down the A pillar.
Then pulled the door sills off the front and rear door. Also removed the rear seat (real easy-no tools required-just two ring, pull and the seat releases).
There was a wire duct along the passenger side of the car, you just have to pull the carpet back a little. I ran the cable along the duct to the rear, with the rear seat removed you can see a huge hole going to the trunk.
Bingo....remove the cheesy panels from around the trunk and mount the Changer.
I have the non-bose stereo, this deal came around, so I just jumped on it.
What are the in-dash changer units going for? Not that I am going to change now......

Just curious, how come you didn't go with the in-dash changer? Cost about the same, and it's within reach. Have fun.

That is a good deal...and a long time.
This one is not that bad, less than 10 sec between disks

I plan on mounting in on the rear deck, and will drill new holes to get it where I like it. I noticed the other holes don't line, go figure !

Where in the trunk did you mount it? I mounted mine up top (under the rear deck) and it was a bit of a pain because it didn't line up with any of the factory holes.

Below the original radio/tape unit and above the flip-down storage, there was a pocket. I took it out and put in the in-dash CD changer.

Has the stock 1U-DIN cassette (made by Clarion), and I put the changer in place of the open-pocket. Kept the flip-down pocket
Yeah, there's about a 15-20 second delay between discs, but I prefer the delay over having to change the discs in the trunk. Too much trouble IMO.

Ah, I misunderstood. I though you had already mounted it. Sounds like a good plan, that's what I did and it worked fine.
