Removing CD changer and creating a usable glove box.

[sixarm]

I just spotted this and wondered if anyone had done this and had any pics?

My CD changer is refusing to play any CD's, it just says CD Error for everything I try. In time I'd like to replace the Aura head-unit and may as well remove the changer and create some space in the glove box.

I had a little search but couldn't find any pictures.

Yes just replaces the changer with a changer sized usable hole.

Replacing the sleeve?

Stage 1 Pull of the plastic surround, remove the 2 screws, pull out the changer, disconnect it.
Stage 2 Put in sleeve, put in the 2 screws you removed in stage 1, replace the surround.

That's a bit spooky, was just about to ask this on the forum

Thanks for the Info as im looking to get rid of the CD Changer as well.
Does any one have any pics of what it looks like once the new housing installed?
Just so i can get an idea if i can fit my CD wallet in there after?

Cheers

Ooh i'd like to do this too. CD changer has been disconnected for about a year Don't think I can fit any more receipts/chewing gum packets/broken CD cases/random cables in the hole I have there...

When i install the new lining (when i buy it) will it just fill the gap where the CD Changer use to be?
So you will still have that divider that was to the right side of the CD changer unit?

If any one has time please could they take a Pic for every one to see?

Thanks for your time.
