The center hole for the display is about 2-3" wide...how does the CD go in?

I placed mine on top of the dash, in front of the registration and inspection stickers. I used two screws to hold the box it slides into down, but double sided tape would work. As I had also put down a dash mat, I bought a yard of fleece at walmart and wrapped the stereo in that. Looks fine, works great, and no vision blocked issues.

There is a box made to house a stereo that is set up to just flush mount on the top of or bottom of a dash. It is like a little pod. This may be an option. I plan to use an old radio and siren console from a police car that I have sitting around. I have speaker boxes but am thinking of using some ammo cans for speaker boxes. I have seen several people use an ammo can for the radio that bolts to the floor. I have even see people put them in the glove compartment. Several options but if you want it in the dash then check JC Whitney also. They have the classic radio and most have CD changer controllers. I would guess that some have ipod inputs now also.

I installed a modern cd player/tuner on my 1008 in the stock radio space. Took time and patience to trim the plastic. It looks good. Not as cool as IRWFO's install. Went a step further and istalled two 6" speakers in the doors.

All the above mention, plus you can always ad kick panels speakers (kind of $$$) but you can fav then yourself, you can fit 3-4 quality speakers for their size under the dash and you can always fit prety mush anything in the glove box(incognito) and easally replace back to OEM. I installed a AM/FM/CB radio but I rather listhen to the DIESEL drum for entertainment specially at Hwy. speed.
