id put the aftermarket one in the glove box. i have done it on older cars that wanted the original look so itll work the same way for hiding it. anything that will make it look more factory will make it less likely for someone to break into it.

Lotas, are you still driving the accord? If so I know you could fit the HU in the arm rest compartment and still have room for cd's in there. That compartment is huge. I know because I occasionally misplace things in mine :)

or look into companies that make retractable headunit kits that motorize the head unit to retract into the dash and replace it with a blank factory delete plate when you're not in the car.
blitzsafe is one such company.

go with the stealth install, and don't run the system anywhere around your college town.. at all.
people remember cars and plates.
save it for the long trips

I think thats what my choice will be, stealth install and just being careful. I don't mess around now, I usually turn my system down miles before I get to my destination, especially if I'll be parked in a parking lot or anything.

And Kevin, you are correct about the middle console. It is gigantic, I think I will relocate it there and just have it facing up..


What about controlling it from there? Is there any fancy way to do it? If it was in the glove compartment, you could just use the remote to point...but in the center console it would be a hassel to point the remote in there the way my car is.
