Can anyone recommend the best place to fit the Alpine KCA-420i iPod interface?

Has anyone done this before?

I'm guessing under the rear seat somewhere?

I'm thinking of fitting this head unit too... http://www.caraudiod...roducts_id=3847
What do you think?

Oh yer - one more question... Can you recommend decent mid-price 6x9in speakers to go with this install?

Ta muchly :lol: !!

ah now this unit ive dealt with myself, just got them in at work

i find the best place to mount the interface is in the glovebox of a normal car (say an astra for instance)

in a mini its slightly different

you could mount it under the dash rail on a piece of MDF? or you could even mount it in your side door bins, and have a little rack mount for the ipod so your passenger or you can operate it and see the names, in a mini theres hundreds of possiblitys due to the fact theres so much empty unused space
