Greetings,
I purchased my "B" with a cassette player installed in the glove box. It's
actually an excellent idea as the glove box locks and no one is the wiser to
the equipment in the car. I'm also running a crappy "Mitsubishi" am/fm
radio which I'm planning on replacing with a removable face decent stereo.
I'm assuming we'll have no problem installing it in the designated space,
but it sounds like we may get a surprise or two!
Anyway, that's just another suggestion to consider.
Cheeers!
