My factory CD player finally called it quits last week, so I've been shopping around for a new head unit. Since all the after market units are the same size as just the factroy CD player, I wasnted to know what I could do about filling the space were the tape deck used to be. Idealy I would have a storage compartment there. Im having a new CD player installed at Circuit City but wonder if they have what I want. What have some of you who have aftermarket units done?

Something along these lines:

I haven't done this yet to the Legacy, But I did it to the Maxima.

I figured it's a good spot for some gauges!

My L had the 1 din box, but that got stolen along with my radio. I put a blank piece of cardboard there and stuck a voltage guage in it. It's painted and textured, so it looks ok. I would have stuck in a new 1 din box, but didn't have the patience to find one.

I went to Circuit City today to see if they had any sorta parta that would work. Turns out they had a part to fill the space but it will have to be back ordered. I really like the gauge idea..maybe sometime this summer.

why do you have a boost gage in your maxima?

There's been another thread where I posted pictures about this, but I used a $1 piece of styrene sheet that I cut into an 'H' shape to fit behind the trim and under the stereo using the stock trim plate screws (at the outer arms of the 'H') to mount it. I painted it to match my shifter and it lookd pretty good (though the color may not be to taste).

the maxima was going to get the turbo kit or the sc kit. BUT, instead, I spent the money and bought my turbo Legacy. LOL

I figure it was a good choice.

Do a search for 1.5 DIN pocket. I've got the part number listed in the thread and it fits perfectly and adds more storage space.

That's what I did (or Opie did before I got the car).
