Yes, I'll explore the relocation option first. The problem with the
trunk, besides lack of access, is that the various objects keep bumping
the player. Besides, it also makes it inconvenient to get to the spare
tire and jack.
I am surprised that the selection of components for car audio is so
poor. All I needed was a cd player, without radio, amp etc. For home
audio, we can get all sorts of things and that's why I thought getting
such a component for car audio would be possible. Apparently not.
Just go onto EBay, type in the year, make and model and CD player. You
will find a lot of these Toyota add-on CD players that fit in place of the
storage bin. I did this with a 1998 Corolla that we had. Less than $100
delivered, brand new.
10 kajillion of them! Some people were nice enough to include the
faceplates.
Note:
Matsu****a = Panasonic
Fuijitsu-Ten = Fujitsu, Ten + Eclipse
The Panasonic units are so-so with really good radio reception.
The Fujitsu units have excellent tape and CD sections, so-so radio, and
really good sound.
