    many people have taken the cubby hole from other vehicles and fit it onto the CD changer brackets so they have a cubby space, i put a head unit with DVD capability in the CD changer slot then put a flip out monitor where the stock cassette player was, but i dont have the auto shifter anymore, i swapped it out for a much much smaller one, so keep in mind that your stock shift knob might get in the way of putting CDs in

    other people have put gauges in that area, i was going to put in a switch panel or a DIN sized speaker like the one biju recently sold before i decided (more like couldnt resist) on my DVD setup

    When I replaced mine a few weeks ago, I removed the mount that surrounded the old unit, held in place with 4 screws and slipped it over the new unit. They seem to come with standard mounting hole to make it easy for everyone. Then it just slipped in just like it was made for it. I in fact mounted mine where the cd changer went and installed the scan gauge in the upper hole. Circuit City could not supply a connector so I had to cut and splice, but that was really not a problem. Just used the wiring schematic to match up the wires. Think I only used I think 10 of the 13 wires which at first made me wonder but it worked out just fine.

    i did the same thing rowhard was talking about, using the four screws that hold the stock units in place to attach my new unit, my screen i had to do some modding of it since i mounted it upside down... and again like rowhard i had to extend wires, so i ended up only extending the power, illumination, and switched power to the new unit, i made my own ground, and use RCA out of the head unit to an amp to power all the speakers
