Ive recently brought a 182 ( moving up from a T reg 1.2 clio) - impressed doesnt even begin and thats with currently keeping it under 4.5k rpm, as Im still only at 700ish miles (Im bringing in an additional 1k rpm every 100 miles ... I see myself keeping this car as long as the 1.2
). Anyway ...In the 1.2 (which didnt have the passenger airbag), my mStation mp3 player fitted very nicely in the compartment directly under the glove box. However, the 182 has the pass air bag, so I am a little stuck about where to put it.
The mStation is a single DIN sized device (178mm x 50mm x 222mm) + a bit (say 2 inchs) at the rear for power cable connector and RCA outputs.
I realise that this device is really suppose to replace your entire headunit, but I want to be able to use a radio as well, particularly for traffic updates. I brought a Blaupunkt Alicante with aux in.
So any thoughts where it could be sited and how ?
I tried the compartment directly under the air con controls, in the middle of dash, but it fouls the gearstick ( which is a real bummer as it would look well nice there
). I have heard of under-dash mountings, but cant find any links / info - could I use one of these to mount it under the glovebox ?Anyone else fitted something similar (maybe a DVD player or something) ? I thought maybe in the glovebox, removing the glovebox door. I would really like to keep cutting / drilling etc ... of the dash to an absolute minimum.
