My plan has been to install a very stock dealer-install-type stereo into my car... but not hook it up. This will be a thief-decoy.
I want to find a CD/MP3/FM unit, with remote. I will hide the stereo somewhere like the glove-box. However, the kicker is that the remote needs to be strong enough to send a signal to the hidden unit (still strongly leaning towards a glove-box install). I don't want to run wires up and down the chassis of my car, so I'm really leaning against a trunk install. Has anyone done this before? Tips, tricks, cautions?

QUOTE(ninefourteener @ Aug 21 2003, 11:14 AM) Honestly, most of the time I just remove the face, and put it in the glovebox, or under the seat..... if a theif were scoping out a car, he's see the stereo with no face, and walk on. No, he'd see the stereo with no face and think "It's probably in the glove-box or under the seat". Then he'd break the window. -Ben M. |
