Ipod Location

Ipod Location
Finally I have invested in some kit -
Alpine HU, Infinity's and a Ipod adaptor KCA 420i
Following RU's instructions it all seems pretty straight forward
(Thanks RU, you are indeed a Gentleman)
but I was wondering if anyone has tried the Ipod in a different location
eg the pocket under the stereo or Console box between the seats?
any comment very welcome
Many thanks

Someone said they'd got their iPod in the under-stereo pocket/flap, can't remember who though.
I thought about the box between the seats, but routing the cable would require too much removal/drilling of 'stuff' which was in the way. As I recall it's not just a case of making a hole in the box itself, but there's a barrier half way along the transmission tunnel which put me off too.
At least with my HU the flap pocket gets quite hot, so I'm glad I didn't locate my iPod there. Having said that, it cools down if the flap is open so it wouldn't be a big problem.

If Halfords can get there act together I could have the sounds for this weekend - but going on their past performance is this likely?

No spacers for the speakers yet though

From the other posts the 6510's need an 18mm spacer - any other suggestions of where I can get these are very welcome?

Ive got ipod/alpine set up and my ipod sits in the glove box.
Best place for it i would have thought. As you don`t need to touch when using it but it`s still easy to get to should you want to take it out.

works a dream and is tucked neatly out of the way -
20 mm hole drilled in the rear RH side of the pocket with a rubber gromit to protect from chaffing - job done
