I just finished (well almost) installing my Storix DVD + CD-RW Combo Drive today in my dash. I sacraficed my cup holder (RIP) but it was worth it. I took the cup holder apart and dremeled out all the internals and fit the drive, after that I built rails out of some plastic I had laying around and some hot glue to guide the drive into the cup holder enclosure. Then I packed the sides of the drive with packing foam to give it some shock resistance. The only think left to do is build 2 little plastic covers for the holdes on each side of the DVD so it looks pretty but I'll do that when it stops raining outside

This drive is actually pretty tuff. Not as tuff as a slot load but still tuff enough for this application
Thats a cool idea, nice RCA's too. I did not have a space to mount my DVD in the dash so I stuck it in a cubby under the dash with velcro.
If it was a hollow CD rom like the one here you could still have a cupholder lol :-D
