"CD Shelf Center Console" = WORTHLESS

[jteixidor]

I have the space and am actually looking for a cd tray, I like the "filled in " look rather than the compartment. If anyone ones to switch or sell their CD case let me know

I have a cupholder in my car... its called my girlfriend, lol. My only complaint is that there is no glove box.

My 2002 came with a cassette tape (4) storage unit? (Must have been an upgrade from an 8 track.) I replaced it with an open storage cubby from Suncoast for $29.95 plsu shipping.

One of my complaints about this design is that I did not have a place to mount my XM reciever...that is before i mounted the reciever right on top of those holders. Now before anyone is quick to judge take note of this:

(a) I dont care what the Germans had in mind for their design. I bought this car in America (i.e. the steering wheel is on the opposite side). If Germans dont want Americans driving their car, then they can stop selling it in America.

(b) A big part of my driving experience is music. Nothing gets me more fired up at 5:45 am than listening to ACDC with the top down (okay that is a bit extreme, and fabricated )

But I know the idea of some XM receiver unit on top of a factory CD shelf sounds appauling. But honestly, you cant tell it is there. You can check a previous thread and look where dcallas mounted his reciever.

The place I mounter my reciever is working out great. It is low profile and you cannot tell what is behind it. Plus, when I sell the car, I can just take the velcro adhisive off and hopefully it will still work and look like new!

Here Is What My Xm Reciever Looks Like

[AUDIOGUY]

I have the cup holders above the head unit in mine and I actually use them quite a bit to hold my cell phone! Also, I would much rather have the cubby hole instead of that bogus cd holder... at least, I could store my cd wallet there in stead of next to the passenger seat adjuster.

By the way, what is the best way to install an Ipod with the 220 head unit...
Is there an Aux rca jack in the back... I dont have the CD changer?

Audio,

If you have the CDR-220 call Becker for the Aux Input :

Then all you need is the cable for the Ipod :

Hope this helps...

Germans drive on same side as Americans and their cars are LHD also. Maybe you're thinking of UK, or Australia.
