These are all good suggestions. I'm considering something
else as well. I have been looking at www.secretaudio.com and
have been considering mounting thier SS unit under the driver
and/or passenger seat (Not the battery spot the other one
RIGHT under the seat).

Dimensions:
Tuner / Amp is 1.5"h x 7"w x 5.75"d
LCD Display unit 1.5"h x 4.125"w x 0.75"d
CD changer 11.2"w x 2.9"h x 7.3"d
9' Cable to connect tuner & display
15' cable to connect tuner to cd
It also comes with an RF remote (no having to aim it to use
it).

I think this unit leaves a lot of options, I am sure that at
3/4" the LCD could be recessed into the dash, or maybe
mounted under the drivers visor.

Thanks,
Chris
