I really don't use it but I have a stealth box coming and the changer is in the middle compartment so where do you guys move them to?

Some have moved theirs to the passenger side cubby hole, but it'll probably take up most if not all of the space...

I think I will just sell the changer and convert the cable to MP3 player capable.

I moved mine to the passenger side as he stated. it was a pain because there is not enough room to turn the screws holding the unit to the bracket which has to be installed first (if I remember correctly) I got around it all by shortening my 1/4" drive nut driver to about 3-4 inches so it would line up with the screw heads I was using. Socket wouldn't work...no room either for one.

I moved mine to the passenger side compartment recently. I simply used a tiny pillow on the bottom and a very thick towel all the way around to keep it in place. It doesn't budge at all and does not skip either. I plan on selling it after I build my box for the middle compartment though. It's too big to put it anywhere where i can reach it while in the car and I don't like having to get out to change to a cd I may be in the mood for at the time.
