where to put the dvd-rom...
looking for some brainstorming help here. if you had to hide a laptop dvd-rom drive into the vette where would you put it? here are the rules though:
1) has to be easily accessible (i dont want to be leaning over to replace a cd and get in a crash)
2) has to be clean and solidly mounted
I have two ideas but lets hear yours!
this is the part in question:

Well you could do something in the center console, or perhaps cut it into the part between your seats. You would have to turn around a bit, but it would be better than leaning over and steering into a ditch!!!!!!!!

I'd say behind the passenger seat on the back wall,,,,, but I don't know how well they work when mounted vetically and bounced around.
It almost looks small enough to go under your seat. Then it would be flat when operating.

Here is just a quick idea that I really dont know if it will work.. I would have to go look at my console and do some measuring because I dont know if it would fit between the mounting bolts, but you might be able to mount in inside the center console at the back (opening toward the front of the car).
You would have to keep the center console pretty empty though to open the tray.. plus you would have to open the center console in order to change discs.
BTW.. what are you doing trying to watch a DVD while driving?

Actually if it works out for you we could probably just call it even for all the help you gave me planning the install of my carPC.
For sure post up some pics if it works!!
