I think I like you two's idea a lot better. The foam sounds like a good idea but I'd have to figure out a way to secure it. I don't think I can do the L brackets but I'm not positive. I Think I'll have to use a couple L brackets, just to hold the HU but then use an actual chain or something to secure it, because my glove box is a odd odd shape.

I've seen a lot of custom work that uses foam, but I'm not sure if this is what holds the unit in place.

Hiding HU in glovebox...help

Alrighty this week I'm gonna be relocating my Pioneer DEH 8600MP into my glove box and putting my stock Honda player back in its place for security reasons. Also, next to my HU in my glovebox I will make a custom mount for my iPod with the Pioneer adapter.

Anyways, I know a few of you guys have done this so I'm just wondering the best way to go about it? My only plan is to take a fiberglass mold of the glove box, and then somehow incorporate a HU installation kit/mounting kit to serve as the "brackets" for the HU. What way do you guys reccomend? Thanks so much.

Also if you have any hints/tips/tricks or suggestions let me know please.


edit: Looks like this is my 1000th post...woohoo.
