looks good, if you want to hide it away from prying eyes and not in the glove box, i have re-routed mine to the back of the ashtry bit.....no one can see it and no wires!

also, did you uprate your front speakers? if so what size did you get? was it difficult to get the door card off and fit them?

mine is in the little storage tray to the right of the steering wheel, Alpine good choice I love their headunits, I wish I had the steering wheel controls my car is too old lol!

Alpine are amazing...such good sound quality! i did have mine there aimez, but found this really sweet hiding place just above the ashy tray!

i did not want mine there as when its on it glows really brightly at night and it bugs me

i have a plan to move it but for the mean time it will do.

nope i have just the standard speakers.

i did think of putting it in there but i already have sunnys and sat nav in there so not much room!

with all the wires and the little control box for the steering wheel controls, it was a git to fit in the small hole. im dreading the thought of when i put the bluetooth moduel and amp wiring in there:cry:

im really impressed with the unit. i was not expecting it to give me full control over my sony mp3 player as i have tried this in other head units and it does not work.

as in the trim under the climate control pannel? so every time you want to update you have to pop that trim off?

got a pic?

you have the secret draw under the drivers seat, I keep my glasses in there, not everyone has that draw the Seat lottery again!

it was pablo's (the SEAT building donkey) day off in the factory when mine was built and i did not get that in the FR although the 1.2 did:cry:
